Materials Data on PPbO4 by Materials Project
PbPO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pb4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.61 Å) and four longer (2.76 Å) Pb–O bond lengths. P4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb4+ and one P4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb4+ and one P4+ atom.
