Crystal structure of strontium dinickel iron orthophosphate

The title compound, SrNi₂Fe(PO₄)₃, synthesized by solid-state reaction, crystallizes in an ordered variant of the α-CrPO₄ structure. In the asymmetric unit, two O atoms are in general positions, whereas all others atoms are in special positions of the space group Imma: the Sr cation and one P atom occupy the Wyckoff position 4e (mm2), Fe is on 4b (2/m), Ni and the other P atom are on 8g (2), one O atom is on 8h (m) and the other on 8i (m). The three-dimensional framework of the crystal structure is built up by [PO₄] tetra­hedra, [FeO₆] octa­hedra and [Ni₂O₁₀] dimers of edge-sharing octa­hedra, linked through common corners or edges. This structure comprises two types of layers stacked alternately along the [100] direction. The first layer is formed by edge-sharing octa­hedra ([Ni₂O₁₀] dimer) linked to [PO₄] tetra­hedra via common edges while the second layer is built up from a strontium row followed by infinite chains of alternating [PO₄] tetra­hedra and FeO₆ octa­hedra sharing apices. The layers are held together through vertices of [PO₄] tetra­hedra and [FeO₆] octa­hedra, leading to the appearance of two types of tunnels parallel to the a- and b-axis directions in which the Sr cations are located. Each Sr cation is surrounded by eight O atoms.

1. Chemical context

Phosphates with the alluaudite (Moore, 1971) and α-CrPO₄ (Attfield et al., 1988) crystal structures have attracted great inter­est due to their potential applications as battery electrodes (Trad et al., 2010; Kim et al., 2014; Huang et al., 2015). In the last decade, our inter­est has focused on those two phosphate derivatives and we have succeeded in synthesizing and structurally characterizing new phosphates such as Na₂Co₂Fe(PO₄)₃ (Bouraima et al., 2015) and Na_1.67Zn_1.67Fe_1.33(PO₄)₃ (Khmiyas et al., 2015) with the alluaudite structure type, and MMn^II₂Mn^III(PO₄)₃ (M = Pb, Sr, Ba) (Alhakmi et al. (2013a,b; Assani et al., 2013) which belongs to the α-CrPO₄ structure type. In the same context, our solid-state chemistry investigations within the ternary system MO–M′O–NiO–P₂O₅ (M and M′ are divalent cations), have led to the synthesis of the title compound SrNi₂Fe(PO₄)₃ which has a related α-CrPO₄ structure.

2. Structural commentary

The crystal structure of the title phosphate is formed by [PO₄] tetra­hedra linked to [NiO₆] and [FeO₆] octa­hedra, as shown in Fig. 1. The octa­hedral environment of iron is more distorted than that of nickel (see Table 1). In this model, bond-valence-sum calculations (Brown & Altermatt, 1985) for Sr²⁺, Ni²⁺, Fe³⁺, P1⁵⁺and P2⁵⁺ ions are as expected, viz. 1.88, 1.95, 2.91, 5.14 and 5.01 valence units, respectively. Atoms Sr1 and P1 occupy Wyckoff positions 4e (mm2), Fe1 is on 4b (2/m), Ni1 and P2 are on 8g (2), O1 is on 8h (m) and O2 is on 8i (m)·The three-dimensional network of the crystal structure is composed of two types of layers parallel to (100), as shown in Fig. 2. The first layer is built up from two adjacent edge-sharing octa­hedra ([Ni₂O₁₀] dimers) whose ends are connected to [PO₄] tetra­hedra by a common edge or vertex (Fig. 3). The second layer is formed by an Sr row followed by infinite chains of alternating [PO₄] tetra­hedra and [FeO₆] octa­hedra sharing apices. These two types of layers are linked together by common vertices of [PO₄] tetra­hedra, forming a three-dimensional framework which delimits two types of tunnels running along the a- and b-axis directions in which the Sr cations are located with eight neighbouring O atoms (Fig. 4). The structure of the title compound is isotypic to that of MMn^II₂Mn^III(PO₄)₃ (M = Pb, Sr, Ba).

3. Database Survey

It is inter­esting to compare the crystal structure of α-CrPO₄ (Glaum et al., 1986) with that of the title compound. Both phosphates crystallize in the ortho­rhom­bic system in the space group Imma. Moreover, their unit-cell parameters are nearly the same despite the difference between their chemical formulas. In the structure of α-CrPO₄, the Cr³⁺ and P⁵⁺ cations occupy four special positions and the three-dimensional concatenation of [PO₄] tetra­hedra and [CrO₆] octa­hedra allows the formation of empty tunnels along the b-axis direction. We can write the formula of this phosphate as follows: LL′(Cr1)₂Cr2(PO₄)₃, and in the general case, AA′M₂M′(PO₄)₃ where L and L′ represent the two empty tunnels sites, while M and M′ correspond to the trivalent cation octa­hedral sites. This model is in accordance with that of the alluaudite structure which is represented by the general formula AA′M₂M′(XO₄)₃ and is closely related to the α-CrPO₄ structure (A and A′ represent the two tunnels sites which can be occupied by either mono- or divalent medium sized cations, while the M and M′ octa­hedral sites are generally occupied by transition metal cations). Accordingly, the substitution of Cr1 or Cr2 by a divalent cation requires charge compensation by a monovalent cation that will occupy the tunnel. Two very recently reported examples are Na₂Co₂Fe(PO₄)₃ and NaCr₂Zn(PO₄)₃, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and magnetic measurements (Souiwa et al., 2015). The replacement of Cr1 by a divalent cation involves an amendment of the charge by a divalent cation as in the present case, SrNi₂Fe(PO₄)₃, which is a continuation of our previous work, namely MMn^II₂Mn^III(PO₄)₃ (M = Pb, Sr, Ba).

4. Synthesis and crystallization

SrNi₂Fe(PO₄)₃ was synthesized by a solid state reaction in air. Stoichiometric qu­anti­ties of strontium, nickel, and iron nitrates and 85 wt% phospho­ric acid were dissolved in water. The resulting solution was stirred without heating for 20 h and was, subsequently, evaporated to dryness. The obtained dry residue was homogenized in an agate mortar and then progressively heated in a platinum crucible up to 873 K. The reaction mixture was maintained at this temperature during 24 h before being heated to the melting point of 1373 K. The molten product was then cooled down slowly to room temperature at a rate of 5 K h⁻¹ rate. Orange parallelepiped-shaped crystals of the title compound were thus obtained.

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
