Materials Data on V2Hg(P2O7)2 by Materials Project
V2Hg(P2O7)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V3+ sites. In the first V3+ site, V3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.16 Å. In the second V3+ site, V3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.06 Å. Hg2+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Hg–O bond lengths are 2.13 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 three VO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.61 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three VO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.63 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V3+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one V3+, one Hg2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one V3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V3+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V3+ and one P5+ atom.
