Materials Data on MnBP(HO3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MnBP(HO3)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P3_221 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mn2+ sites. In the first Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent BO4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.26 Å. In the second Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent BO4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.28 Å. B3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two MnO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–49°. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.52 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four MnO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent BO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–62°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn2+, one B3+, and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Mn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one B3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one B3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Mn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mn2+, one B3+, and one H1+ atom.
