Crystal structure of the low-temperature form of K3PO4

The crystal structure of the low-temperature form of K3PO4 has been determined for the first time using neutron diffraction (Rietveld method) and Raman spectroscopy: orthorhombic cell (sp. gr. Pnma, Z = 4), lattice parameters a = 1.12377(2) nm, b = 0.81046(1) nm, c = 0.59227(1) nm. The structure is...

Summary:The crystal structure of the low-temperature form of K3PO4 has been determined for the first time using neutron diffraction (Rietveld method) and Raman spectroscopy: orthorhombic cell (sp. gr. Pnma, Z = 4), lattice parameters a = 1.12377(2) nm, b = 0.81046(1) nm, c = 0.59227(1) nm. The structure is made up of isolated [PO4] tetrahedra, with the potassium ions in between.
