The title compound, K0.8Ca9.8Fe0.2(PO4)7 (potassium deca­calcium iron hepta­phosphate), belongs to the whitlockite family. The structure is built up from several types of metal–oxygen polyhedra: two [CaO8], one [CaO7] and one [(Ca/Fe)O6] polyhedron with a mixed Ca/Fe occupancy in a 0.8:0.2 ratio, as well as three tetra­hedral [PO4] units. Of the 18 sites in the asymmetric unit, the site with the mixed Ca/Fe occupation, the K site, one P and one O site are on special positions 6a with 3 symmetry, whereas all other sites are on general positions 18b. The linkage of metal–oxygen polyhedra and [PO4] tetra­hedra via edges and corners results in formation of a three-dimensional framework with composition [Ca9.8Fe0.2(PO4)7]0.8−. The remaining K atoms (site-occupation factor = 0.8) are located in large closed cavities and are nine-coordinated by oxygen.

In the compound K0.8Ca9.8Fe0.2(PO4)7, (I), atoms Ca4/Fe4, K1, P1 and O11 are in special positions 6a that lie on a 3-fold rotation axis, whereas all other atoms are located in general positions 18b (Fig. 1).

Compound (I) might be represented as a result of an aliovalent substitution of calcium atoms in β-Ca3(PO4)2 (Calvo et al., 1975; Yashima et al., 2003) by a pair of K and Fe atoms.

[CaOx] polyhedra (two types of [CaO8], one of [CaO7] and one [(Ca/Fe)O6] with mixed Fe/Ca occupancy) and three different [PO4] tetrahedra are linked via edges and corners to built a three-dimensional framework with composition [Ca9.8Fe0.2(PO4)7]0.8- (Fig. 2). The K+ cations are located in large closed cavities inside the framework (K1 occupancy is equal to 0.8).

For (I), Ca—O distances of [CaO8]- and [CaO7]-polyhedra (2.295 (15)-2.78 (3) Å) are close to these in previously reported isotypic compounds s-Ca9Fe(PO4)7 (2.29 (3)-2.73 (3) Å), o-Ca9Fe(PO4)7 (2.29 (3)-2.70 (4) Å) (Lazoryak et al., 1996) and KCa10(PO4)7 (2.329 (3)- 2.76 (2) Å) (Sandström & Boström, 2006). The distances Ca/Fe—O (2.23 (4)-2.29 (3) Å) within the [(Ca/Fe)O6] polyhedron are close to these of the [CaO6] polyhedron in KCa10(PO4)7 (2.239 (4)-2.267 (4) Å), while they significantly differ from d(Fe—O) = 1.95 (3)-2.17 (3) Å in Ca9Fe(PO4)7.

Potassium atoms are nine-coordinated (three triples of K—O distances in the range of 2.508 (19)-3.24 (3) Å) (Fig. 3), while in KCa10(PO4)7 the K—O contacts vary in the range of 2.641 (3)-3.25 (4) Å .

In conclusion, compound (I) can be considered as a solid solution within the KCa10(PO4)7 / Ca9Fe(PO4)7 double system.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by solid state reaction from a mixture of K2CO3, CaCO3, Fe2O3 and NH4H2PO4 in the molar ratio K/Ca/Fe/P = 0.8:9.8:0.2:7.0. The reagents were finely ground in an agate mortar and then placed in a porcelain crucible. The thermal treatment was carried out in three steps. The first included preheating to 873 K to decompose the ammonium salt and carbonates. After that, the mixture was heated at 1273 K for 12 h, cooled to room temperature, reground, and held at 1373 K for 6 h. The resulting product was a pale pink powder.

Refinement top

The powder pattern was indexed in rhombohedral cell (hexagonal setting) by Dicvol 2004 (Boultif & Louër, 2004). The structure of KCa10(PO4)7 (Sandström & Boström, 2006) was selected as a starting model for Rietveld refinement. Profile matching refinement was performed firstly. Then scaling factor and background were added to the refined parameters. The background was approximated using linear interpolation between a set of background points with refineable heights. A modified pseudo-Voigt function (Thompson et al., 1987) was used for the profile refinement. As it was determined previously, only one position of calcium is suitable for heterovalent substitution by a three-valent 3d-metal. It is the octahedrally coordinated Ca4 site. Thus the iron site was placed into the Ca4 position. The occupancy of iron was fixed at 0.2 while the remaining calcium occupancy was set to 0.8. The potassium occupancy was set to 0.8 due to electroneutrality of the compound. The atomic coordinates and Biso of Ca and Fe were constrained to be equal. ADPs of all P atoms were constrained to be equal as well as the ADPs of all O atoms. The value of Biso for Ca4 was restrained in the range of 0.17-0.3. The value of Biso for O11 was also restrained in the range of 0.2-0.3. Two distance restraints for P2—O21 and P2—O23 bonds were applied. Experimental, calculated and difference patterns after the final refinement cycle are shown in Fig. 4.
