Materials Data on K2ZrFe(PO4)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

K2FeZrP3O12 crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.31 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.29 Å. Zr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.08 Å) and three longer (2.09 Å) Zr–O bond lengths. Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.04 Å) and three longer (2.05 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZrO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–46°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.56 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to three K1+, one Zr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one Fe3+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+, one Zr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Fe3+, and one P5+ atom.
