Materials Data on LiMnP by Materials Project

Abstract

LiMnP is Fluorite-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form LiP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiP4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent MnP4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent MnP4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent LiP4 tetrahedra. All Li–P bond lengths are 2.51 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form MnP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent MnP4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent LiP4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiP4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent MnP4 tetrahedra. All Mn–P bond lengths are 2.28 Å. P3- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li1+ and four equivalent Mn2+ atoms.
