Materials Data on K8PO3 by Materials Project
K8PO3 crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to one P2- and three equivalent O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing KPO3 tetrahedra. The K–P bond length is 3.13 Å. All K–O bond lengths are 2.92 Å. P2- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent K1+ atoms. O2- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent K1+ atoms.
