Materials Data on Na2ZnP2O7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na2ZnP2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.99 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.55 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.98 Å) and one longer (1.99 Å) Zn–O bond length. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.65 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.64 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and two P5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Zn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, one Zn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Zn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, one Zn2+, and one P5+ atom.
