Materials Data on Zn(PO5)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Zn(PO3)2(O2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four hydrogen peroxide molecules and one Zn(PO3)2 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the Zn(PO3)2 sheet, Zn is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O atoms. There are two shorter (2.00 Å) and two longer (2.03 Å) Zn–O bond lengths. P is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.51 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn and one P atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn and one P atom.
