Materials Data on AgPO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

AgPO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.88 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.63 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ag1+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ag1+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ag1+ and two equivalent P5+ atoms.
