Fluorophosphates have multiple applications, e.g. as wood preservatives, as corrosion inhibitors or as toothpaste additives [1]. Fluorophosphates contain the tetrahedral anion PO3F2- that is characterized by three P-O bonds of similar length (ca. 1.51 Å) and one considerably longer P-F bond (ca. 1.60 Å). In the course of systematic crystal growth experiments of new fluorophosphates, we have isolated the double salt (NH4)2PO3F·(NH4)NO3. Temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction studies on polycrystalline and single-crystalline samples revealed two reversible phase transitions. The room-temperature polymorph I (space group P21/n) transforms at ca. 170 K into the intermediate polymorph II (space group P-1) that in turn transforms at ca. 140 K into the low-temperature polymorph III (space group P21/n). The driving force of the phase transitions I->II and II->III is a tilting of the nitrate groups within the structure relative to the other building blocks. The two phase transitions are accompanied by an increase of the unit cell volume on cooling. The three-dimensional structural set-up in the three polymorphs of (NH4)2PO3F·(NH4)NO3 is dominated by an intricate N-H...O hydrogen-bonding system between ammonium donor groups and nitrate and fluorophosphates acceptor groups. It is interesting to note that hydrogen-bonding of the type N-H...F plays a minor role.

AbstractThe temperature-dependent structure-property relationships of the aluminosilicate perrhenate sodalite |Na8(ReO4)2|[AlSiO4]6 (ReO4-SOD) were analysed via powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy and heat capacity measurements. ReO4-SOD shows two phase transitions in the investigated temperature range (13 K < T < 1480 K). The first one at 218.6(1) K is correlated to the transition of dynamically ordered $P\overline{4}3n$ (> 218.6(1 K) to a statically disordered (<218.6(1) K) SOD template in $P\overline{4}3n$. The loss of the dynamics of the template anion during cooling causes an increase of disorder, indicated by an unusual intensity decrease of the 011-reflection and an increase of the Re-O2 bond length with decreasing temperature. Additionally, Raman spectroscopy shows a distortion of the ReO4 anion. Upon heating the thermal expansion of the sodalite cage originated in the tilt-mechanism causes the second phase transition at 442(1) K resulting in a symmetry-increase from $P\overline{4}3n$ to $Pm\overline{3}n$, the structure with the sodalites full framework expansion. Noteworthy is the high decomposition temperature of 1320(10) K.
