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.

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.

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.

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.

p-Diethylaminobenzenediazonium hexafluorophosphate, C10H14N3+•PF6−, crystallized in space group [Formula: see text] with a = 12.105(4), b = 12.340(5), c = 10.439(4) Å, α = 96.53(3), β = 104.11(3), γ = 64.44(3)°, and Z = 4. The structure was solved using direct methods and refined with full-matrix least-squares techniques on F, to a final R of 0.054 for 1917 reflections with F2 > 3σ(F2). The mean bond lengths for the diazo group are: N—N 1.096(6); C—N 1.357(7) Å. The geometry of the molecule is discussed in terms of the possible resonance forms and it is shown to be consistent with a form in which the N—N triple bond is essentially intact and the aminobenzene moiety has "quinoidal" character.

Crystals of Co7.0As3.6O16 (1.8 × 3.84 CoO.As2O5) are orthorhombic with unit cell parameters a = 10.526(5), b = 5.985(2), and c = 4.871(2) Å. The space group is Pnma with Z = 1 and, except for fractionally occupied cation sites, the crystals have a structure closely related to that of the mineral olivine. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares with isotropic thermal parameters, using 1175 independent reflections measured with MoKα radiation, to a final R value of 0.075. The composition was determined by site population analysis. The structure is based upon a hexagonally close-packed arrangement of oxygen layers with As in tetrahedrally and Co in octahedrally coordinated interstices. The mean As—O bond length is 1.676 Å and the mean Co—O bond lengths are 2.139 Å for the site with m symmetry and 2.174 Å for the site showing inversion symmetry. These bond lengths are uncorrected for the effects of fractional occupancy of some of the cation sites.

Crystals of 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethyl-6-methylamino-1,3,5-triaza-2,4,6,8(PV)-tetraphosphorin are monoclinic, a = 11.639(4), b = 11.957(7), c = 12.114(4) Å, β = 94.07(2) °, Z = 4, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.032 and Rw of 0.041 for 2012 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). Crystals of 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethyl-6-methylamino-7-benzoyl-1,3,5-triaza-2,4,6,8(PV)-tetraphosphorin are triclinic, a = 15.513(1), b = 8.422(1), c = 8.933(1) Å, α = 89.24(1), β = 100.18(1), γ = 107.30(1) °, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined to a final R of 0.041 and Rw of 0.044 for 3654 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The eight-membered P4N3C rings in both structures hâve 'tub' conformations. The mean bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: P—N(endo), 1.609(9), P—N(exo), 1.679(2), P—C(endo), 1.717(2), and P—C(exo), 1.815(8) Å for Me7(MeNH)P4N3CH and 1.595(4), 1.655(2), 1.763(4), and 1.804(5) Å respectively for Me7(MeNH)P4N3CC(O)Ph. The near-equivalence of the endocyclic P—N bond lengths in the azaphosphorins is discussed in terms of opposing changes in the in-plane and out-of-plane Π-systems.
