Materials Data on BaSiP4(HO7)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

BaSiP4(HO7)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.29 Å. Si4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.76 Å) and four longer (1.80 Å) Si–O bond length. 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 two equivalent SiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–43°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.62 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.61 Å. H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.03 Å) and one longer (1.58 Å) H–O bond length. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ba2+, one Si4+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Si4+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Si4+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba2+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba2+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom.
