The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 22–48°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.63 Å. In the fifth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeO6 octahedra and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.65 Å. In the sixth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three FeO6 octahedra and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–58°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.59 Å. There are eighteen inequivalent O2- sites.
