Materials Data on ZnP2PbO7 by Materials Project
ZnPbP2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form ZnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with five PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.15 Å. Pb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.90 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra and corners with three equivalent ZnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.63 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent ZnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.61 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn2+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Zn2+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Zn2+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Zn2+, two equivalent Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Zn2+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom.
