Fe(OH)2(AlPO4(H2O)2)2(H2O)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one iron dihydroxide molecule; four water molecules; and one AlPO4(H2O)2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the AlPO4(H2O)2 sheet, there are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.00 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.96 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.64 Å. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.67 Å) H–O bond length. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Al3+ and two H1+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one P5+ and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Al3+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Al3+ and one H1+ atom.
