Materials Data on Ca2MgP2(H2O5)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ca2MgP2(H2O5)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.73 Å. Mg2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.17 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–54°. There is one shorter (1.54 Å) and three longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.61 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.55 Å) H–O bond length. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca2+, one Mg2+, and two H1+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Mg2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Mg2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one P5+, and two H1+ atoms.
