Materials Data on KSiPCO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

KSiCPO7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.52–3.32 Å. Si4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.82 Å. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.23–1.35 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–40°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.55 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+ and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one K1+, one Si4+, and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one K1+, one Si4+, and one C4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+, one Si4+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Si4+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Si4+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+, one Si4+, and one P5+ atom.
