Abstract
The crystal structure of (KPO3)4 · 2H2O was solved by direct methods andFourier-syntheses (triclinic; P\(\bar 1\);a=1 114.9 (2),b=821.9 (2),c=815.7 (3) pm; α=88,88 (2), β=84.51 (2), γ=82.70 (2)°;Z=2; 5910 unique reflections;R=0.052). The cyclic anions exhibit point symmetry S4 with four terminal oxygens in axial and four in equatorial position. Thermal investigations (DTA, TGA, X-Ray-methods) show that the dehydration occurs in two steps. The anhydrous form of (KPO3)4 is stable above 230 °C and undergoes a second order phase transition which is complete at 515±5 °C.
