NaK5Ni5(P2O7)4 is obtained during the preparation of a mixture of triphosphate. Indeed, the powder of "NaK2NiP3O10" synthesized by wet process is introduced into a platinum crucible, and then gradually heated to a temperature above its melting point (1073 K) for 2 h, followed by slow cooling of the order of 10 °K per hour up to 673 °K. Then the furnace is shuts down and the cooling is continued until room temperature. Small colourless single crystals were isolated from the mixture of phases. The study of crystal structure by X-ray diffraction leads to the formula of the new phosphate: NaK5Ni5(P2O7)4.
The atomic displacement factors of O5 and O6 atoms are very large compared to other oxygen atoms because the O5 is linked to Ni4 and Na1 occupying the disordered site and O6 is related to K2 and K3 that are in the tunnels. This explains the large displacement of these atoms. The highest peak and the deepest hole in the final Fourier map are at 0.76 Å and 0.49 Å, respectively, from Na1 and K2. The refinement of the occupancy rates of the mixed site of Na1 and Ni4 led to 0.5 for Na and 0.5 for Ni. These values are in good agreement with the charge balance and the bond valence analysis which gives occupation numbers of 0.60 for Ni and 0.40 for Na (Brown & Altermatt, 1985). The not significant bonds and angles were removed from the CIF file.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

The most studied condensed phosphates are the diphosphates formerly called pyrophosphates. Most of these phosphates are polymorphic. The stability of each allotropic variety depends on several factors such as size and the electron affinity of the ions and synthesis conditions, in particular temperature and pressure. Thus in the case of Ni2P2O7, we note the existence of four allotropic varieties: the form α-Ni2P2O7 stable at room temperature and the γ-Ni2P2O7 determined by Lukaszewicz (1967), the high temperature form β-Ni2P2O7 obtained by Pietraszko & Lukaszewicz (1968) at 853 K and the δ-Ni2P2O7 discovered by Masse et al. (1979). The addition of an alkali cation like Na or K in this system leads to new compounds with different structures. Indeed we find K2NiP2O7 investigated by El Maadi et al. (1995), Na7.39Ni4.24(P2O7)4 by Erragh et al. 2000) and three compounds with mixed anions: K2Ni4(PO4)2(P2O7); Na4Ni3(PO4)2(P2O7) and Na4Ni5(PO4)2(P2O7)2 respectively, developed by Palkina & Maksimova (1980); Nagornyi et al. (1996) and Sanz et al. (1999) but to our knowledge no pyrophosphate with a mixture of two alkaline and nickel. The present work describes the synthesis method and the crystal structure of NaK5Ni5(P2O7)4 diphosphate from the X-ray diffraction data on single-crystal.
The partial three-dimensional plot in Fig.1 illustrates the connection ion-oxygen polyhedra in the crystal structure of the title compound. Among the 25 atoms include in the asymmetric unit of this structure, only three atoms (Ni1, Ni3 and K1) are in a special positions (1 symmetry). Furthermore, the structure is characterized by a cationic disorder in one general position fully occupied equally by Na1 and Ni4 atoms. This mixed site that will be noted M1 is surrounded by five oxygen atoms forming a square based pyramid. The conformations of the two crystallographically independent groups (P2O7) P1—O4—P2 and P3—O14—P4 are eclipsed and staggered, respectively as indicated by the torsion angles O1–P1–P2–O5 = 3.5 (2) ° and O8–P3–P4–O12 = -24.6 (2) °. The distances P1–P2 = 2.902 Å, P3–P4 = 3.015 Å and angles P1–O4–P2 = 127.65 (11)°, P3—O14—P4 = 135.07 (13)° are within the limits generally observed in condensed phosphate crystal chemistry. All three nickel atoms Ni1, Ni2 and Ni3 are surrounded by a roughly octahedral arrangement of six oxygen atoms except that in the mixed site (M1O5). The potassium atoms K1, K2 and K3 are coordinated to six, seven and nine oxygen atoms, respectively.
The structure of NaK5Ni5(P2O7)4 consists of edge-sharing [Ni1O6] and [Ni2O6] octahedra forming an infinite zigzag chains [Ni3O14] running parallel to [100], as shown in Fig. 2. Adjacent chains are connected by P2O7 groups, M1O5 square-pyramid and [Ni3O6] or [K1O6] octahedra via vertices in the way to build three-dimensional network.
The resulting 3-D framework presents intersecting tunnels running along the [010] and [001] directions, where the K2 and K3 potassium cations are located (Fig.2). Probably, the structure of this phosphate represents a new structural type.
