Materials Data on Zn(PO3)2 by Materials Project
Zn(PO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent ZnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.33 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ZnO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–57°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.62 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent P5+ atoms.
