(BiPO4)3O2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure consists of two hydrogen peroxide molecules inside a BiPO4 framework. In the BiPO4 framework, there are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), one O(5), and two equivalent O(6) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3), two equivalent O(4), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(6) atom. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent O(2) and two equivalent O(5) atoms. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Bi(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Bi(1) and one P(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Bi(2) and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Bi(1), one Bi(2), and one P(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Bi(1), one Bi(2), and one P(2) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Bi(1) and one P(1) atom.
