Crystal structure of calcium dinickel(II) iron(III) tris(orthophosphate): CaNi2Fe(PO4)3
2017
The title compound, CaNi2Fe(PO4)3, was synthesized by solid-state reactions. Its structure is closely related to that of α-CrPO4 in the space group Imma. Except for two O atoms in general positions, all atoms are located in special positions. The three-dimensional framework is built up from two types of sheets extending parallel to (100). The first sheet is made up from two edge-sharing [NiO6] octahedra, leading to the formation of [Ni2O10] double octahedra that are connected to two PO4 tetrahedra through a common edge and corners. The second sheet results from rows of corner-sharing [FeO6] octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra forming an infinite linear chain. These layers are linked together through common corners of PO4 tetrahedra and [FeO6] octahedra, resulting in an open three-dimensional framework that delimits two types of channels parallel to [100] and [010] in which the eightfold-coordinated CaII cations are located.
