LiYb(PO3)4

E. Ben Zarkouna and A. Driss

Abstract: The structure of the lithium ytterbium polyphosphate LiYb(PO3)4 is described. It consists of a three-dimensional framework made up of spiral (PO3)n chains linked by YbO8 polyhedra. The Li+ cations reside in the tunnels delimited by the framework. The structure is compared with that of some other compounds like LiNd(PO3)4, NaNd(PO3)4, KNd(PO3)4, RbNdP4O12 and Yb(PO3)3.
