Materials Data on MnV3Co2(PO4)6 by Materials Project

V3MnCo2(PO4)6 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent V4+ sites. In the first V4+ site, V4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.88 Å) and three longer (1.98 Å) V–O bond length. In the second V4+ site, V4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one CoO6 octahedra. There is three shorter (1.91 Å) and three longer (2.03 Å) V–O bond length. In the third V4+ site, V4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.90 Å) and three longer (2.04 Å) V–O bond length. Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one CoO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.03 Å) and three longer (2.18 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Co2+ sites. In the first Co2+ site, Co2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, a faceface with one VO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one MnO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.13 Å) and three longer (2.18 Å) Co–O bond lengths. In the second Co2+ site, Co2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.20 Å) and three longer (2.24 Å) Co–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 CoO6 octahedra, and corners with three VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 25–49°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.57 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 CoO6 octahedra, and corners with three VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 26–52°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V4+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V4+, one Co2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V4+, one Co2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V4+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn2+, one Co2+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V4+, one Co2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V4+ and one P5+ atom.
