Materials Data on AlCoP2C2(NO4)2 by Materials Project
CoAlCP2NO8CN crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four hydrogen cyanide molecules and one CoAlCP2NO8 framework. In the CoAlCP2NO8 framework, Co1+ is bonded to one N3- and five O2- atoms to form distorted CoNO5 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoNO5 octahedra, corners with three PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. The Co–N bond length is 2.25 Å. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–2.41 Å. Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.77 Å. C4+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.16 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 two equivalent CoNO5 octahedra and corners with two equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–45°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.56 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CoNO5 octahedra, corners with two equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CoNO5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 34°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.56 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co1+ and one C4+ atom. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co1+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Co1+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Co1+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co1+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P5+ atom.
