AlPO4 is high (beta) Cristobalite-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. Al(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1,2) atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1,2) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Al(1)O4 tetrahedra. O(1,2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Al(1) and one P(1) atom.
