At room temperature Na4P2O7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 9.367(5), b = 5.390(2), c = 13.480(8) Å, and z = 4. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares using 1337 reflections measured with a Syntex Automatic diffractometer. The final R value is 0.022. The anion has nearly an eclipsed configuration with a P—O—P angle of 127.5(1)°. The two bridging P—O bond lengths are 1.631(2) and 1.642(2) Å with terminal P—O bond lengths averages of 1.512 and 1.514 Å on either side of the anion. Two of the four Na+ ions are coordinated to five oxygen atoms while the remainder are coordinated to six oxygen atoms. The structure contains chains of cations with four nearly collinear Na+ per cell paralleling the c axis. These are surrounded by six anions with the bridging oxygen atoms lying approximately at the corners of an octahedron with the P—P vector of the anion also paralleling the c axis. Adjacent anions along the c axis are separated by a pair of Na+ ions.

PbV2O6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 9.771(10), b = 3.684(4), c = 12.713(13) Å, and Z = 4. The structure was determined using 816 reflections measured with an automatic diffractometer and refined by full-matrix least squares to an R value of 0.052. The two unique vanadium ions lie on mirror planes and are each coordinated to five oxygen atoms lying between 1.61 and 2.06 Å. The distorted octahedra are completed by a sixth V–O interaction which is 2.73 Å for V(1) and is 2.57 Å for V(2). The lead ion is coordinated to nine oxygen atoms lying in a spherical shell with inner and outer radii of 2.56 and 2.90 Å. The structure consists of chains of VO6 octahedra paralleling the b axis.

The structure of ferric phosphate at room temperature was refined on a Dauphiné-twinned crystal using full-matrix least-squares methods. The final R value was 0.078 for 487 symmetry-independent reflections whose intensities were corrected for twinning. The structure was found to be isotypic with AlPO4 (berlinite) with the space group P3121 and four formula units in a unit cell defined by a = 5.036(2) and c = 11.255(4) Å. The structure is also closely related to that of α-quartz with a nearly doubled c-axis because of the ordering of Fe and P atoms. The PO4 tetrahedron is almost regular with a mean P—O distance of 1.526 Å. The Fe3+ ion is tetrahedrally coordinated with an average Fe—O distance of 1.853 Å.

Crystals of synthetic Mg-whitlockite, Ca18Mg2H2(PO4)14, have been grown by hydrothermal techniques and their structure refined by full-matrix least-squares methods, using 1626 unique reflections measured with a Syntex [Formula: see text] automatic diffractometer, to a final R value of 0.046. The crystals have space group R3c with ZR = 1, a = 13.765(8) Å and α = 44.25(5)° with the equivalent hexagonal parameters a = 10.350(5), c = 37.085(12) Å and ZH = 3. The structure, although similar to that of βCa3(PO4)2, differs significantly. The structure contains interconnected infinite chains of polyhedra paralleling the hexagonal c axis with links in the chains consisting of three CaO8 polyhedra separated by two PO4 tetrahedra. Six of these chains surround a chain of MgO6 octahedra and PO4H groups which lie on the three-fold axes. These chains however contain only half the formula unit density of the calcium containing ones and a proton, presumably disordered, is attached to the oxygen atom on the triad axes.

The structures were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods utilizing 2070 reflections (R = 0.056) for the diarsenate and 1145 reflections (R = 0.067) for the diphosphate. Both structures contain pseudo-hexagonally packed anions, in staggered configurations, forming layers with the divalent cations in six coordinate sites between the layers. The average M—O bond lengths are 2.342 and 2.290 Å for M = Ca and Cd respectively. The K ion has nine oxygen atoms with mean K—O bond lengths of 2.943 and 3.020 Å in the diarsenate in the coordination sphere. The mean of the ten shortest K—O is 2.939 Å in the diphosphate.

Details of the preparation and crystal structures of the title compounds are given. Crystals of (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridinonato)diphenylboron, 1, are orthorhombic, a = 13.4010(6), b = 15.005(1), c = 14.833(1) Å, Z = 8, space group Pbca, and those of (3-hydroxy-1,2-dimethyl-4-pyridinonato)diphenylboron, 2, are monoclinic, a = 8.2617(5), b = 12.374(1), c = 16.104(1) Å, β = 92.741(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. Both structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.047 and 0.071 for 1654 and 1831 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. Both molecules contain five-membered C2O2B chelate rings, that in 2 being nearly planar. Structural data indicate weaker overall binding of the ligand oxygen atoms to boron in 1 than in 2. Bond lengths (corrected for libration) are O—B = 1.497(5) and 1.650(5), C—B = 1.600(5) and 1.599(5) Å for 1; O—B = 1.542(5) and 1.569(5), C—B = 1.607(6) and 1.609(6) Å for 2.

Ni3P2O8 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P21/c with a = 5.830(2), b = 4.700(2), c = 10.107(4) Å, β = 91.22(2)°, and Z = 2. The structure was refined by full-matrix least squares methods to a final R value of 0.035 using 986 symmetry independent reflections. The structure is isotypic with that of sarcopside, which in turn is related to that of olivine with vacant cation sites ordered. The Ni ions are octahedrally coordinated in two types of sites with average Ni—O bond lengths of 2.081 and 2.067 Å. The mean P—O bond length is 1.547 Å although the tetrahedron shows some unusually large distortions with bond lengths ranging from 1.521 to 1.595 Å.

Vanadium(III) tris(metaphosphate), V(PO3)3, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Ic with lattice parameters a = 10.615(2), b = 19.095(4), c = 9.432(1) Å, β = 97.94(1)° with Z = 12. The equivalent parameters in the standard space group Cc are a = 13.189(1), b = 19.095(4), c = 9.432(1) Å, and β = 127.15(1)°. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares to an R = 0.091 (Rω = 0.065) utilizing 2467 reflections with the atomic positions and their isotropic vibration amplitudes as parameters. The structure consists of infinite chains of PO4 tetrahedra sharing corners with each other and bridged by VO6 octahedra. All oxygen atoms are shared between just two cations. The average [Formula: see text] bond is 1.581 Å while the average of those shared with vanadium is 1.483 Å. The VO6 group is moderately distorted, with differences of less than 0.06 Å between the longest and shortest V—O bond lengths in any of the three distinct VO6 groups. The average V—O bond lengths for the three VO6 groups are 1.995, 1.991, and 1.987 Å. A marked superlattice effect based on a cell with b/3 is noted.

Crystals of BaNaPO4 were grown from a Ba3P2O8–Na2B4O7 melt. The crystals are trigonal, space group [Formula: see text]with a = 5.622(4) and c = 7.259(5) Å. The structure, isotypic with that of glaserite, was refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to a final R value of 0.042 using 218 unique reflections. There are three different cation sites. Na and Ba lie at sites of [Formula: see text] symmetry and are coordinated to 6 and 12 oxygen atoms respectively. The Na—O bond lengths are 2.344(7) Å and the two unique Ba—O bond lengths are 2.788(7) and 3.247(9) Å. The remaining cation site has 3m symmetry, a coordination number of 10, and contains equal amounts of Na+ and Ba2+. The bond lengths range from 2.548(12) to 3.017(7) Å. The phosphate group also has 3m symmetry with mean P—O bond lengths of 1.538 Å. The underbonded apical P—O bond length is 1.520 Å.
