Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Alkali (Na, Rb, Cs) Iron Phosphate Crystals

Abstract

Three alkali-containing diphosphate crystals of AFeP2O7 (A = Na, Rb, Cs) were synthesized through melt-crystallization. The crystal structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The synthesized diphosphates crystallized within the P21/c space group, and the structural parameters were compared to literature data of other AFeP2O7 crystals within the P21/c space group.
