Materials Data on Ba(ZnP)2 by Materials Project
BaZn2P2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P3- atoms. All Ba–P bond lengths are 3.41 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ZnP4 tetrahedra. All Zn–P bond lengths are 2.49 Å. P3- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+ and four equivalent Zn2+ atoms.
