(Received 9 July 2010; accepted 3 August 2010; online 11 August 2010)

The title compound, tripotassium gadolinium(III) bis­[ortho­phosphate(V)], was synthesized by a high-temperature solution reaction. Of the 12 atoms of the asymmetric unit (1 × Gd, 2 × P, 3 × K, 6 × O), all but two O atoms (which are in general positions) lie on mirror planes. The crystal structure features sheets of composition [Gd(PO4)2]3− which extend parallel to (100) and are built up from isolated PO4 tetra­hedra and GdO7 monocapped prisms through corner- and edge-sharing. The K+ ions, which have coordination numbers of 10, 9 and 11, help to stack the anionic sheets along [100] into a three-dimensional structure.

Comment top

Inorganic phosphates with general formula M3RE(PO4)2 have been investigated in the past years due to their interesting optical properties, in which M is a alkali metal cation and RE is a trivalent rare-earth cation: K3Lu(PO4)2, space group P3 (Efremov et al., 1981); K3(La0.99Nd0.01)(PO4)2, P21/m (Hong & Chinn, 1976); Na3Ce(PO4)2, Pca21 (Karpov et al., 1980); K3Eu(PO4)2, P21/m (Morozov et al., 2001); K3Sm(PO4)2, P21/m (Toumi et al., 1999); K3Ce(PO4)2, P21/m (Zah-Letho et al., 1988). We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of K3Gd(PO4)2 which is isotypic with all structures crystallizing in space group P21/m.

As shown in Fig. 1, the crystal structure of K3Gd(PO4)2 features two-dimensional sheets with composition [Gd(PO4)2]3- extending in the bc plane and constructed from isolated PO4 tetrahedra and isolated GdO7 monocapped prisms through corner- and edge-sharing. The K+ cations, with coordination numbers of 10 (K1), 9 (K2) and 11 (K3), are situated between these sheets and join them through coulombic action to the O2- anions, eventually forming the three-dimensional framework of K3Gd(PO4)2 (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The finely ground reagents K2CO3, Gd2O3, and NH4H2PO4 were mixed in the molar ratio K: Gd: P = 12: 1: 10, placed in a Pt crucible, and heated at 573 K for 4 h. The mixture was re-ground and heated at 1173 K for 20 h, then cooled to 573 K at a rate of 4 K h-1, and finally quenched to room temperature. A few colorless crystals of the title compound with prismatic shape were obtained.

Refinement top

The highest peak in the difference electron density map is 1.10 Å from Gd1 while the deepest hole is 0.85 Å from the same atom.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
