Abstract
A new copper hydroxydiphosphate Cu3(P2O6OH)2 was synthesized, by soft chemistry. The crystal structure was solved ab initio from X-ray powder diffraction data in the triclinic space group P. The structure is built up from [Cu3O10]infinity zigzag chains linked by P2O6(OH) groups to form a tridimensional framework. The [Cu3O10]infinity chains consist of edge-sharing polyhedra. The structure contains two sorts of copper polyhedra: one CuO6 octahedron and two CuO5 pyramids. Magnetization measurements confirm the presence of divalent copper and suggest antiferromagnetic interactions at low temperature.
