Silver europium(III) polyphosphate

M. Ayadi, M. Férid and B. Moine

Abstract: Europium(III) silver polyphosphate, AgEu(PO₃)₄, was prepared by the flux method. The atomic arrangement is built up by infinite (PO₃)_n chains (periodicity of 4) extending along the c axis. These chains are joined to each other by EuO₈ dodecahedra. The Ag⁺ cations are located in the voids of this arrangement and are surrounded by five oxygen atoms in a distorted [4+1] coordination.
