title: Materials Data on Mn2Fe3Cu(PO4)6 by Materials Project

description: Mn2Fe3Cu(PO4)6 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mn+4.50+ sites. In the first Mn+4.50+ site, Mn+4.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, a faceface with one FeO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one CuO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.16 Å) and three longer (2.19 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. In the second Mn+4.50+ site, Mn+4.50+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. All Mn–O bond lengths are 2.18 Å. There are three inequivalent Fe+2.67+ sites. In the first Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one MnO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (1.94 Å) and three longer (2.09 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. In the second Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (2.09 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. In the third Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (2.09 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. Cu1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one MnO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (1.97 Å) and three longer (2.10 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. There are two 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 MnO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one CuO6 octahedra, and corners with three FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–50°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.57 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one CuO6 octahedra, and corners with three FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 28–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.56 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn+4.50+, one Fe+2.67+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu1+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn+4.50+, one Fe+2.67+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn+4.50+, one Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn+4.50+, one Fe+2.67+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe+2.67+ and one P5+ atom.
