Abstract
A new lead tri-magnesium phosphate PbMg3(HPO4)(PO4)2 was synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This phosphate crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group I2/m and unit cell parameters a = 6.6403(2)Å, b = 13.1169(5) Å, c = 10.7153(4) Å and β = 90.194 (1)°. The structure consists of two edge-sharing [MgO6] octahedra linked to [PO4] or [HPO4] tetrahedra to build [Mg2P2O14] and [Mg2H2P2O14] moieties, which are interconnected together through vertices to form a sheet parallel to (1 0 0) plan. In addition, an infinite chain ([MgPO9]∞) formed by the sharing of a vertex between the [MgO6] octahedron and the [PO4] tetrahedron ensures the connection of the sheets to form a three-dimensional structure containing tunnels parallel to the b and c axes. The Pb2+ and H+ cations are located in disordered sites in these tunnels. The structure of this phosphate exhibits also a strong hydrogen bond.
