Materials Data on LiP3PbO9 by Materials Project
LiPbP3O9 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted LiO5 square pyramids that share corners with five PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.53 Å. Pb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.77 Å. There are three 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 LiO5 square pyramids and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.63 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO5 square pyramid and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.62 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO5 square pyramids and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.64 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li1+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Li1+, two equivalent Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li1+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb2+ and one P5+ atom.
