Synthesis and structure of two phosphates belonging to the ternary Sb2O5-Fe2O3-P2O5 system are reported. Structures of both SbV1.50FeIII0.50(PO4)3 and (SbV0.50FeIIIe0.50)P2O7 phases, obtained by solid state reaction in air atmosphere at 950 °C and 900 °C, respectively, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction using the Rietveld method. Sb1.50Fe0.50(PO4)3 phosphate belongs to the Nasicon-type structure with R32 space group. Hexagonal cell parameters are ahex.=8.305(1) Å and chex.=22.035(2) Å. Rietveld refinement results show a 2-2 ordered distribution, along the c-axis, of X(1) and X(2) sites (crystallographic formula [Sb0.88Fe0.12]X(1)[Fe0.38Sb0.62]X(2)(PO4)3) in the Nasicon framework. (Sb0.50Fe0.50)P2O7 is isotypic with β-SbP2O7 pyrophosphate [Pna21 space group; a=7.865(1) Å, b=15.699(2) Å, c=7.847(1) Å]. Its crystal structure is built up from corner-shared SbO6 or FeO6 octahedra and P2O7 groups (two group types). Each P2O7 group shares its six vertices with three SbO6 and three FeO6 octahedra, and each octahedra is connected to six P2O7 groups. A quasi 1-1 ordered distribution, along the b-axis, of Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions in the pyrophosphate framework are observed.

Synthesis and structure of two phosphates belonging to the ternary Sb2O5–In2O3–P2O5 system are realized. Structures of SbV1.50InIII0.50(PO4)3 and (SbV0.50InIII0.50)P2O7 phases, obtained by solid state reaction in air at 950 °C, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction using the Rietveld method. SbV1.50InIII0.50(PO4)3 have a monoclinic (space group P21/n) distortion of the Sc2(W O4)3-type framework. Its structure is constituted by corner-shared SbO6 or InO6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra. Monoclinic unit cell parameters are a=11.801(2) Å, b=8.623(1) Å, c=8.372(1) Å, and β=90.93(1)°. (Sb0.50In0.50)P2O7 is isotypic with (Sb0.50Fe0.50)P2O7 and crystallizes in orthorhombic system (space group Pna21) with a=7.9389(1) Å, b=16.0664(2) Å, and c=7.9777(1) Å. Its structure is built up from corner-shared SbO6 or InO6 octahedra and P2O7 groups (two group-types). Each P2O7 group shares its six vertices with three SbO6 and three InO6 octahedra, and each octahedron is connected to six P2O7 groups.

Crystal structures of A0.50SbFe(PO4)3(A=Mn, Cd) phases, obtained by solid state reaction at 920 °C, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) using the Rietveld method. The structures of the two samples are of the Nasicon-type with the R3 space group. Hexagonal cell parameters for A=Mn and Cd are: a=8.375(1) Å, c=21.597(2) Å and a=8.313(1) Å, c=21.996(2) Å, respectively. From XRD data, it is difficult to unambiguously distinguish between Cd2+ and Sb5+ ions in Cd0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and between Mn2+ and Fe3+ cations in Mn0.50SbFe(PO4)3. Nevertheless the overall set of cation–anion distances within the Nasicon framework clearly shows that the cation distribution can be illustrated by the {[A0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3 (A=Mn, Cd) crystallographic formula. The divalent A2+ cations and vacancies are ordered within the two positions, 3a and 3b, of the M1 sites. Structure refinements show also a quasi-ordered distribution of Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions within the Nasicon framework. Thus, each A(3a)O6(A=Mn, Cd) octahedron shares two faces with two Fe3+O6 octahedra and each vacancy (◻(3b)O6) site is located between two Sb5+O6 octahedra.

Crystallographic structures of two new orthophosphates Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 obtained by conventional solid state reaction techniques at 900 °C, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction using Rietveld analysis. The two compounds belong to the Nasicon structural family. The space group is R3 for Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and R3c for CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3. Hexagonal cell parameters for Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 are: a=8.257(1) Å, c=22.276(2) Å, and a=8.514(1) Å, c=21.871(2) Å, respectively. Ca2+ and vacancies in {[Ca0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3 are ordered within the two positions, 3a and 3b, of M1 sites. Structure refinements show also a quasi-ordered distribution of Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions within the Nasicon framework. Thus, in {[Ca0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3, each Ca(3a)O6 octahedron shares two faces with two Fe3+O6 octahedra and each vacancy (◻(3b)O6) site is located between two Sb5+O6 octahedra. In [Ca]M1Sb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 compound (R3c space group), all M1 sites are occupied by Ca2+ and the Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions are randomly distributed within the Nasicon framework.

The crystal structure of the ordered vacancy compound (OVC) Cu3In5Te9 was analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction data. Several structural models were derived from the structure of the Cu-poor Cu-In-Se compound b-Cu0.39In1.2Se2 by permuting the cations in the available site positions. The refinement of the best model by the Rietveld method in the tetragonal space group P2c (Nº 112), with unit cell parameters a = 6.1852(2) Å, c = 12.3633(9) Å, V = 472.98(4) Å3, led to Rp = 7.1 %, Rwp = 8.5 %, Rexp = 6.4 %, S = 1.3 for 162 independent reflections. This model has the following Wyckoff site atomic distribution: Cu1 in 2e (0,0,0); In1 in 2f (½,½,0), In2 in 2d (0,½,¼); Cu2-In3 in 2b (½,0,¼); in 2a (0,0,¼); Te in 8n (x,y,z).
