α-VPO5 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/n with a = 6.014(7) and c = 4.434(2) Å. The structure, isotypic with that of α-VSO5, was refined by full-matrix least-squares method to an R value of 0.089 using 239 independent reflections. The vanadium ion lies on a crystallographic four-fold axis, as does one of the oxygen atoms, and the P on a site of [Formula: see text] symmetry. A second oxygen atom, as a result of disorder, occurs in two positions which are mirror reflected with respect to the ac plane. The structure consists of highly distorted VO6 groups with bond lengths along the c axis of 1.580(11) and 2.853(11) Å while the remaining four V—O bond lengths are all 1.858(8) Å. The P—O bond lengths in the PO4. tetrahedron are 1.541(8) Å with the PO4 groups bridging across four chains of VO6 groups.

KAlP2O7 crystallizes as monoclinic crystals with a = 7.308(8), b = 9.662(6), c = 8.025(4) Å, β = 106.69(7)°, z = 4 and space group P21/c. The structure was refined from 1394 observed reflections by full-matrix least-squares method to a final R value of 0.032. The P2O74− anion consists of a pair of corner-sharing PO4 groups in a nearly staggered configuration. The mean bridging and terminal P—O bond lengths are 1.607 and 1.509 Å, respectively, and the P—O—P angle is 123.2°. The anions lie in planes parallel to (001). The Al ions are bonded to six oxygen atoms contributed by anions in three layers of P2O7 groups. The average Al—O bond length is 1.889 Å. The potassium ion is coordinated to ten oxygen atoms lying within a spherical shell with inner and outer radii of 2.739 and 3.185 Å.

The crystal structure of Mg2As2O7 has been refined by full matrix least squares procedures using 587 observed reflections. The structure of Mg2As2O7 is of the thortveitite type, as reported by Łukaszewicz, with space group C2/m and unit cell dimensions a = 6.567(2) Å, b = 8.524(4) Å, c = 4.739(1) Å, β = 103.8(1)°, and Z = 2. The As—O—As group in the anion appears to be linear but the central oxygen atom undergoes considerable disorder in the plane perpendicular to this group. The AsO bond distances uncorrected for thermal motion are 1.67 Å for the As—O(—As) bond and 1.66 and 1.65 Å for the terminal As—O bonds. The final R value obtained is 0.088.

α-Zn2V2O7 is monoclinic with lattice parameters a = 7.429(5), b = 8.340(3), c = 10.098(3) Å, β = 111.37(5)°, Z = 4 and space group C2/c. The structure was refined using a full matrix least-squares with 1034 reflections measured with a quarter-circle General Electric automatic X-ray diffractometer to a final R value of 0.066. The anion consists of a pair of VO4 tetrahedra sharing an oxygen atom which lies on a two-fold axis. The bridging V—O bond length is 1.775(4) Å while the three independent terminal ones are 1.728(4), 1.704(7), and 1.658(8) Å long. These bond lengths are consistent with the charge character around the individual oxygen atoms. The Zn ions are coordinated to five oxygen atoms with Zn—O bonds ranging from 1.973 to 2.088°Å. The structure is similar to that of α-CU2P2O7 and transforms to the thortvietite structure at about 615 °C.

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 crystal structure of tetraethylammonium bromopentacarbonyltungstate (0), [NEt4] [W(CO)5Br], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 22�1°C. Crystals are tetragonal, space group P4/n, with a 9.206(2), c 10.484(2) Ǻ, and Z 2. Full-matrix least-squares refinement gave a final R value of 0.034 for 820 independent reflections. The [W(CO)5Br]- anion possesses exact C4v symmetry, with bond lengths W-Br 2.736(1), W-COtrans 1.93(1) and W-COcis 2.034(6) Ǻ.

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.

Crystals of tetraammonium diphosphate, (NH4)4P2O7, crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c, Z = 4 and lattice parameters a = 11.758(3), b = 6.486(2), c = 13.659(2) Å and β = 104.81(1)°. The structure was refined using full-matrix least-squares methods with 810 reflections to an R value of 0.092. The diphosphate anion contains a crystallographic two-fold axis, and has a configuration intermediate between staggered and eclipsed. The bridging P—O bond length is 1.624(2) Å and the terminal P—O bonds average 1.507 Å. The diphosphate groups lie in sheets defined by [Formula: see text] and are bridged by NH4+ groups which hydrogen bond to only the terminal oxygen atoms. Each hydrogen is bonded to one oxygen atom but each of the terminal oxygen atoms interacts with either two or three hydrogen atoms.
