The material structure described by Fe(PO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Fe(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 31°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
