description: AlPO6 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of three oxygen molecules and one AlPO5 framework. In the AlPO5 framework, there are six inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded to five O atoms to form distorted AlO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.77–2.03 Å. In the second Al site, Al is bonded to four O atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.77 Å. In the third Al site, Al is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted AlO6 octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.03 Å. In the fourth Al site, Al is bonded to four O atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.74 Å) and three longer (1.75 Å) Al–O bond length. In the fifth Al site, Al is bonded to four O atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.74 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) Al–O bond length.
