Materials Data on CsP(HO)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

CsP(HO)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one H1- and six equivalent O2- atoms. The Cs–H bond length is 3.35 Å. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.11–3.32 Å. P5+ is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to two H1- and two equivalent O2- atoms. Both P–H bond lengths are 1.43 Å. Both P–O bond lengths are 1.52 Å. There are two inequivalent H1- sites. In the first H1- site, H1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cs1+ and one P5+ atom. In the second H1- site, H1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs1+ and one P5+ atom.
