Materials Data on LaZnPO by Materials Project

Abstract

LaZnOP is Parent of FeAs superconductors structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P3- and four equivalent O2- atoms. All La–P bond lengths are 3.36 Å. All La–O bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ZnP4 tetrahedra. All Zn–P bond lengths are 2.50 Å. P3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La3+ and four equivalent Zn2+ atoms. O2- is bonded to four equivalent La3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLa4 tetrahedra.
