title: Materials Data on NdP3(H4O5)3 by Materials Project

description: NdP3H8O13(H2O)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of eight water molecules and one NdP3H8O13 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the NdP3H8O13 sheet, Nd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.71 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 PO4 tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one PO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.65 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form corner-sharing PO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.76 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one PO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.63 Å. There are eight inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.54 Å) H–O bond length. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.64 Å) H–O bond length. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. There are thirteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Nd3+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Nd3+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Nd3+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Nd3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Nd3+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Nd3+ and two H1+ atoms. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one P5+ and two H1+ atoms. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Nd3+ and two H1+ atoms. In the thirteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Nd3+ and two H1+ atoms.
