Materials Data on NaTiSn(PO4)3 by Materials Project
NaTiSn(PO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.51 Å) and three longer (2.54 Å) Na–O bond lengths. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.95 Å) and three longer (2.00 Å) Ti–O bond length. Sn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.01 Å) and three longer (2.05 Å) Sn–O bond lengths. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 22–36°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.55 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Ti4+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Sn4+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ti4+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sn4+ and one P5+ atom.
