Materials Data on LiCrPO4 by Materials Project
LiCrPO4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–2.37 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.75 Å. There are two inequivalent Cr2+ sites. In the first Cr2+ site, Cr2+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.86 Å) and one longer (1.89 Å) Cr–O bond length. In the second Cr2+ site, Cr2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–2.44 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.44–2.06 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.44–1.97 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li1+, one Cr2+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two Cr2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Cr2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cr2+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr2+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr2+, and one P5+ atom.
