Materials Data on Bi2P3(PbO4)3 by Materials Project
Bi2P3(PbO4)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pb2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.61–3.11 Å. Bi+1.50+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.94 Å. P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is three shorter (1.56 Å) and one longer (1.59 Å) P–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb2+, two equivalent Bi+1.50+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb2+, one Bi+1.50+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb2+, two equivalent Bi+1.50+, and one P5+ atom.
