Materials Data on Cu3P4C4(NO6)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cu3(PO3)4(C2N)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight ch3nc molecules and one Cu3(PO3)4 framework. In the Cu3(PO3)4 framework, there are two inequivalent Cu+1.33+ sites. In the first Cu+1.33+ site, Cu+1.33+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.43 Å. In the second Cu+1.33+ site, Cu+1.33+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–1.98 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.54 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.51 Å) and two longer (1.53 Å) P–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu+1.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu+1.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu+1.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu+1.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu+1.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Cu+1.33+ and one P5+ atom.
