Abstract: Nonalithium trigallium(III) tris[pyrophosphate(V)] diphosphate(V), Li₉Ga₃(P₂O₇)₃(PO₄)₂, has been synthesized by a hydrothermal method and its crystal structure solved from X-ray powder diffraction data using Rietveld analysis. The structure is based on separate layers parallel to (001), consisting of GaO₆ octahedra that share corners with PO₄ tetrahedra and P₂O₇ groups. The lithium ions are located in the interstitial space.
