title: Materials Data on LiCrPO5 by Materials Project

description: LiCrPO5 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 pentagonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one CrO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, edges with three CrO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one LiO6 pentagonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.52 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.67 Å. There are two inequivalent Cr4+ sites. In the first Cr4+ site, Cr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent LiO6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 36–38°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–2.03 Å. In the second Cr4+ site, Cr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO6 pentagonal pyramid, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 36–38°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–2.02 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 corners with four CrO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one LiO6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–53°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.56 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CrO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent LiO6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 31–54°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.56 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one Cr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+ and two Cr4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Cr4+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one Cr4+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one P5+ atom.
