The compound described by Fe2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Fe(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) 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 four equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 25-30°. 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 bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe(1) and one P(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
