Abstract: | Synthesis and Crystal Structure of K2(HSO4)(H2PO4), K4(HSO4)3(H2PO4), and Na(HSO4)(H3PO4) Mixed hydrogen sulfate phosphates K2(HSO4)(H2PO4), K4(HSO4)3(H2PO4) and Na(HSO4)(H3PO4) were synthesized and characterized by X‐ray single crystal analysis. In case of K2(HSO4)(H2PO4) neutron powder diffraction was used additionally. For this compound an unknown supercell was found. According to X‐ray crystal structure analysis, the compounds have the following crystal data: K2(HSO4)(H2PO4) (T = 298 K), monoclinic, space group P 21/c, a = 11.150(4) Å, b = 7.371(2) Å, c = 9.436(3) Å, β = 92.29(3)°, V = 774.9(4) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.039; K4(HSO4)3(H2PO4) (T = 298 K), triclinic, space group P 1, a = 7.217(8) Å, b = 7.521(9) Å, c = 7.574(8) Å, α = 71.52(1)°, β = 88.28(1)°, γ = 86.20(1)°, V = 389.1(8)Å3, Z = 1, R1 = 0.031; Na(HSO4)(H3PO4) (T = 298 K), monoclinic, space group P 21, a = 5.449(1) Å, b = 6.832(1) Å, c = 8.718(2) Å, β = 95.88(3)°, V = 322.8(1) Å3, Z = 2, R1 = 0,032. The metal atoms are coordinated by 8 or 9 oxygen atoms. The structure of K2(HSO4)(H2PO4) is characterized by hydrogen bonded chains of mixed HnS/PO4– tetrahedra. In the structure of K4(HSO4)3(H2PO4), there are dimers of HnS/PO4– tetrahedra, which are further connected to chains. Additional HSO4– tetrahedra are linked to these chains. In the structure of Na(HSO4)(H3PO4) the HSO4– tetrahedra and H3PO4 molecules form layers by hydrogen bonds. |
