Pb3(PO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. There are two inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. In the second Pb site, Pb(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb(1), one Pb(2), and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb(1), one Pb(2), and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb(1), two equivalent Pb(2), and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb(2) and one P(1) atom.
