E. H. Soumhi, I. Saadoune and A. Driss

Abstract: In the title compound, 4C₆H₁₆NO₃⁺P₄O₁₂^4-, the asymmetric unit consists of two organic cations and two linked PO₄ tetrahedra. These tetrahedra are also linked with symmetry-equivalents to form centrosymmetric P₄O₁₂ rings. The organic cations are linked to the cyclotetraphosphate rings by O-HO=P hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.
