Materials Data on LiMo2P3O13 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiMo2P3O13 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Li–O bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Mo5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MoO6 octahedra that share corners with five PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.70–2.29 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MoO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–55°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.63 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–51°. There is two shorter (1.54 Å) and two longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mo5+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mo5+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mo5+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mo5+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mo5+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo5+ atom.
