Abstract

Pb4O(BO3)(PO4) crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.38 Å) and two longer (1.40 Å) B–O bond length. There are four inequivalent Pb2+ sites. In the first Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–3.15 Å. In the second Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.39–3.21 Å. In the third Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–3.07 Å. In the fourth Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–3.12 Å. P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.56 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Pb2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Pb2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one B3+ and three Pb2+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Pb2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one B3+ and four Pb2+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one B3+ and three Pb2+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four Pb2+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Pb2+ and one P5+ atom.
