Abstract

K2Cu(PO3)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.98 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.67–3.38 Å. Cu2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.76 Å. There are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.63 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.63 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.63 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.62 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two K1+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two P5+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two K1+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two K1+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two P5+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cu2+ and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two K1+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom.
