K2MgWO2(PO4)2 [dipotassium magnesium tungsten dioxide bis(phosphate); abbreviated formula: KMgWP], a new compound crystal-chemically derivable from the well known nonlinear optical crystal KTiOPO4 (KTP), undergoes at least five phase transitions between its melting point (Tm = 1068 K) and room temperature. KMgWP's triclinic room-temperature structure (space group P1) can be described as a slightly distorted modification of its tetragonal high-temperature phase (T > 782 K), which is isostructural with K2NiWO2(PO4)2 (KNiWP, space group P41,3212).
