Materials Data on ZnP2WO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

WZnP2O7 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. W2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one WO6 octahedra. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.28 Å. Zn2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.74 Å. 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 three equivalent WO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–55°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.59 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent WO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–47°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.64 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one W2+, one Zn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one W2+, one Zn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one W2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W2+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one W2+ and one P5+ atom.
