KH₂PO₄ · HF crystallizes monoclinic: P2₁/c, a = 6,459(2), b = 7,572(2), c = 9,457(3) Å, β = 101,35(3)°, V = 453,5(3) ų, Z = 4. RbH₂PO₄ · HF and CsH₂PO₄ · HF are orthorhombic: Pna2₁, a = 9,055(3), b = 4,635(2), c = 11,908(4) Å, V = 499,8(3) ų, Z = 4, and Pbca, a = 7,859(3), b = 9,519(4), c = 14,744(5) Å, V = 1102,5(7) ų, Z = 8, respectively. The crystal structures of MH₂PO₄ · HF contain M⁺ cations, H₂PO₄^– anions and neutral HF molecules. The H₂PO₄^– anions are connected to layers by O–H…O hydrogen bonds (2,53–2,63 Å), whereas the HF molecules are attached to the layers via very short hydrogen bonds of the F‐H…O type (2,36–2,38 Å). The thermal decomposition of the adducts proceeds in three steps. The first step corresponds to the release of mainly HF and a smaller quantity of water. In the second and third steps, water evolution caused by condensation of dihydrogen phosphate is the dominating process whereas smaller amounts of HF are also released.
