Materials Data on Fe3P8O37 by Materials Project

(Fe3(P4O17)2)2(O2)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of twelve water molecules and two Fe3(P4O17)2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Fe3(P4O17)2 sheet, there are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–1.99 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–2.00 Å. There are four inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–2.45 Å. In the second P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 26–42°. There is three shorter (1.54 Å) and one longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. In the third P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 17–40°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. In the fourth P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 29–40°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.55 Å. There are seventeen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one P and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a linear geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the fourteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the fifteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the sixteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the seventeenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom.
