Abstract: | Single crystals of the new Bi(III) phosphates, Rb6Bi4(PO4)2(P2O7)3, have been isolated and their structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction techniques. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a=9.077(1)Å, b=9.268(2)Å, c=36.418(6)Å, β=95.75(1)° and Z=8. The crystal structure is made up of BiO5 and BiO6 polyhedra sharing the corners with PO4 tetrahedra and P2O7 diphosphate groups. The structure can be described as infinite anionic layers with composition Bi4(PO4)2(P2O7)3]∞6− parallel to the 301] plane, connected via P-O-Bi bridges to form a three-dimensional open framework. This framework delimits tunnels running along 100] and 010] directions, where the rubidium ions reside. This compound exhibits a rubidium ion conduction but with rather low conductivity value at 640 K. |
