Materials Data on AgP15 by Materials Project

Abstract

AgP15 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one AgP15 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ag1+ is bonded to four P+0.07- atoms to form distorted AgP4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with three PAgP3 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Ag–P bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.97 Å. There are fifteen inequivalent P+0.07- sites. In the first P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. There are a spread of P–P bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.24 Å. In the second P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. There are two shorter (2.20 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) P–P bond lengths. In the third P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. There are one shorter (2.20 Å) and one longer (2.32 Å) P–P bond lengths. In the fourth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ag1+ and two P+0.07- atoms. The P–P bond length is 2.19 Å. In the fifth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. There are one shorter (2.22 Å) and one longer (2.26 Å) P–P bond lengths. In the sixth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. There are one shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.24 Å) P–P bond lengths. In the seventh P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. There are one shorter (2.20 Å) and one longer (2.25 Å) P–P bond lengths. In the eighth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. There are one shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.22 Å) P–P bond lengths. In the ninth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded to one Ag1+ and three P+0.07- atoms to form PAgP3 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one AgP4 trigonal pyramid and corners with two PAgP3 trigonal pyramids. The P–P bond length is 2.23 Å. In the tenth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. The P–P bond length is 2.23 Å. In the eleventh P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded to one Ag1+ and three P+0.07- atoms to form distorted PAgP3 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one AgP4 trigonal pyramid and corners with two PAgP3 trigonal pyramids. The P–P bond length is 2.32 Å. In the twelfth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. In the thirteenth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms. There are one shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.25 Å) P–P bond lengths. In the fourteenth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded to one Ag1+ and three P+0.07- atoms to form distorted PAgP3 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one AgP4 trigonal pyramid and corners with two PAgP3 trigonal pyramids. In the fifteenth P+0.07- site, P+0.07- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P+0.07- atoms.
