A quaternary germanium(II) phosphate, Na[Ge(4)(PO(4))(3)]

A new germanium(II) phosphate, sodium tetra-germanium tris-(phosphate), Na[Ge(4)(PO(4))(3)], has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The compound is isotypic with A[Sn(4)(PO(4))(3)] (A = Na, K, NH(4)). It features a [Ge(4)(PO(4))(3)](-) framework made up of GeO(3) pyramids and PO(4) tetra-he...

Summary:A new germanium(II) phosphate, sodium tetra-germanium tris-(phosphate), Na[Ge(4)(PO(4))(3)], has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The compound is isotypic with A[Sn(4)(PO(4))(3)] (A = Na, K, NH(4)). It features a [Ge(4)(PO(4))(3)](-) framework made up of GeO(3) pyramids and PO(4) tetra-hedra, which are linked by shared corners, yielding a three-dimensional structure. The crystal studied showed partial inversion twinning.
