This leads to the formation of [Te₂O₃][Te(PO₄)₂] layers parallel to the bc plane which are interconnected via weak Te‐O bonds.

A slight excess of trichloride or the addition of NaCl as a flux supports the yield of brownish red, rod-shaped transparent crystals which prove to be stable against hydrolysis. The crystal structure (monoclinic, C2/m (no. 12), a = 1540.2(1), b = 400.92(3), c = 1656.3(1) pm, β = 101.24(1)°, Z = 4, R = 0.039, R_w = 0.028) was determined by means of X-ray single crystal data. Thus five crystallographically different cations (Pr³⁺) are present which with three distinct kinds of nitride anions (N^3?) build up two types of translationally commensurate chains from interconnected [NPr₄] tetrahedra. With an additional edge per “chain-link” in chain I, two single chains [NPr_3/3^ePr_1/1^t]³⁺ (?[NPr₂]³⁺) of cis-edge connected [NPr₄] tetrahedra (known from the Sm₄N₂S₃-type structure) are condensed into the double chain [(N1){(Pr1)_(2+2)/(2+2)^e,e(Pr2)_(2+1)/(2+1)^e,v}(N2)(Pr3)_1/1^t]³⁺ (?[N₂Pr₃]³⁺). Chain II consists of two single chains [NPr_2/2^vPr_2/1^t] ⁶⁺ (?[NPr₃]⁶⁺) of vertex-connected [NPr₄] tetrahedra (known from the Sm₃NS₃-type structure), which are condensed to the double chain [(N3)(Pr4)_2/2^e(Pr5)_2/2^v]³⁺ (?[NPr₂]³⁺) via an additional edge per “chain-link” too. Both types of chains are bundled along [010] like a closest packing of rods. Four crystallographically different but by X-ray diffraction indistinguishable anions S^2? and Cl^? hold both cationic double chains together and also adjust the charge balance in a molar ratio of 1 : 1.
