Materials Data on Rb2SrP2O7 by Materials Project
Rb2SrP2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.39 Å. Sr2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.51 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent SrO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–43°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.66 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb1+, one Sr2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb1+, one Sr2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb1+, one Sr2+, and one P5+ atom.
