Abstract
Data on the synthesis, structure and physicochemical characteristics of phosphates formed by MI and EIV cations, in particular, double and more complex phosphates in which MI has been partially replaced by H+ or (M')I and PO43- has been partially replaced by TO4n- (T=Si, As, B, Mo) are generalized and described systematically. The key factors responsible for the formation of a particular type of structure are analyzed. The possibilities are considered for preparing structures of a desired type and symmetry and for fine tuning of properties of obtained crystals by varying the cationic and anionic components of the phosphate with retention of stable structural fragments of the crystal ensemble and by selecting an appropriate method of synthesis. The ways of practical application of complex phosphates taking into account their structural features are demonstrated. The bibliography includes 395 references.
