Materials Data on KPH3NO3 by Materials Project
KPNH3O3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted KO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PNO3 tetrahedra and faces with two equivalent KO6 octahedra. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.86 Å. P5+ is bonded to one N3- and three O2- atoms to form PNO3 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent KO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–56°. The P–N bond length is 1.82 Å. There is two shorter (1.52 Å) and one longer (1.53 Å) P–O bond length. N3- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to one P5+ and three H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.05 Å) and two longer (1.06 Å) N–H bond length. There are three inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one P5+ atom.
