Abstract

Sr10(PO4)6O crystallizes in the trigonal P3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.55 Å) and three longer (2.58 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.80 Å. In the third Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.95 Å. In the fourth Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.56–3.00 Å. In the fifth Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.92 Å. In the sixth Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted SrO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.74 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent SrO6 pentagonal pyramids. There is one shorter (1.55 Å) and three longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent SrO6 pentagonal pyramids and an edgeedge with one SrO6 pentagonal pyramid. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.55–1.57 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Sr2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sr2+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Sr2+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Sr2+ and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one P5+ atom.
