title: Materials Data on Mg2VP3O11 by Materials Project

description: Mg2VP3O11 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted MgO5 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one VO6 octahedra, corners with three PO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one MgO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.21 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.13 Å. V3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one MgO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.10 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 VO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent MgO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–58°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.59 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra, and a cornercorner with one MgO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.65 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one MgO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. There are eleven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Mg2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg2+, one V3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+, one V3+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg2+, one V3+, and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one V3+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one V3+ and one P5+ atom.
