Materials Data on K4CoP6O25 by Materials Project

K4P6O19CoO6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four cobalt;hexahydrate molecules and one K4P6O19 framework. In the K4P6O19 framework, there are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K is bonded to six O atoms to form KO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one KO6 octahedra and corners with five PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.82 Å. In the second K site, K is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.16 Å. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one KO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There is two shorter (1.49 Å) and two longer (1.65 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent KO6 octahedra and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–62°. There is two shorter (1.50 Å) and two longer (1.62 Å) P–O bond length. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent K atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K and one P atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two K and one P atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K and one P atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three K and one P atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent P atoms. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one K and two P atoms.
