title: Materials Data on LiNi3P3O13 by Materials Project

description: LiNi3P3O13 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.39 Å. There are three inequivalent Ni+3.33+ sites. In the first Ni+3.33+ site, Ni+3.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one NiO5 square pyramid, corners with three PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 55°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.12 Å. In the second Ni+3.33+ site, Ni+3.33+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form NiO5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one NiO6 octahedra and corners with five PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.00 Å. In the third Ni+3.33+ site, Ni+3.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 55°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.08 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 a cornercorner with one NiO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent NiO5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. There is one shorter (1.53 Å) and three longer (1.55 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four NiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one NiO5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–54°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.56 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one NiO5 square pyramid, and an edgeedge with one NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.57 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ni+3.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ni+3.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ni+3.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni+3.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Ni+3.33+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni+3.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Ni+3.33+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni+3.33+ and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Ni+3.33+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Ni+3.33+, and one P5+ atom.
