Materials Data on As3Pb5ClO12 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pb5(AsO4)3Cl crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pb2+ sites. In the first Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.41–3.18 Å. Both Pb–Cl bond lengths are 3.20 Å. In the second Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.57–3.00 Å. As5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is three shorter (1.73 Å) and one longer (1.75 Å) As–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Pb2+ and one As5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Pb2+ and one As5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Pb2+ and one As5+ atom. Cl1- is bonded to six equivalent Pb2+ atoms to form distorted face-sharing ClPb6 octahedra.
