Application of the Dimensional Reduction Formalism to Pb-12[Li-2(P2O7)(2)(P4O13)(2)](P4O13): a Phosphate Containing Three Types of Isolated P-O Groups
A new phosphate, Pb-12[Li-2(P2O7)(2)(P4O13)(2)](P4O13), containing three types of isolated polyphosphate anionic groups [P2O7], and two types of [P4O13] has been successfully synthesized by using Li2O as dimensional reduction agent to dismantle Pb3P4O13. The isolation of [P2O7] and two types of [P4O13] with different symmetries in the title compound mainly benefits from the large number and flexible coordination of the Pb2+ cations.
