Materials Data on Ga2Fe(PO4)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

FeGa2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form FeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.88 Å) and two longer (1.90 Å) Fe–O bond length. Ga3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.84 Å) and two longer (1.85 Å) Ga–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 four equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra. All P–O bond lengths are 1.55 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.54 Å) and two longer (1.55 Å) P–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ga3+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ga3+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ga3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ga3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe3+ and one P5+ atom.
