Materials Data on Li2VPCO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li2VCPO7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.24 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted LiO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 64–76°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.33 Å. V3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO5 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one LiO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.15 Å. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.26–1.33 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent VO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent LiO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.56 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one V3+, and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Li1+ and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one V3+, and one C4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one V3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one V3+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one V3+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one V3+, and one P5+ atom.
