BePO4 is quartz (alpha)-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Be(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form BeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. The Be(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.60 Å. The Be(1)-O(2) bond length is 1.63 Å. The Be(1)-O(3) bond length is 1.63 Å. The Be(1)-O(4) bond length is 1.61 Å. P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Be(1)O4 tetrahedra. The P(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.53 Å. The P(1)-O(2) bond length is 1.53 Å. The P(1)-O(3) bond length is 1.53 Å. The P(1)-O(4) bond length is 1.52 Å. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Be(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Be(1) and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Be(1) and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Be(1) and one P(1) atom. Linkers: 8 [O]P([O])([O])=O. Metal clusters: 8 [Be]. The MOF has largest included sphere 4.12 A, density 1.65 g/cm3, surface area 2606.68 m2/g, accessible volume 0.18 cm3/g
