In the fifth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO4 tetrahedra and corners with two AlO4 tetrahedra. All P–O bond lengths are 1.54 Å. In the sixth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO4 tetrahedra and corners with two AlO4 tetrahedra. All P–O bond lengths are 1.54 Å. There are twenty-four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P5+ atom.
