Abstract
An In-III phosphate, Na3In(PO4)(2), has been synthesized by high-tempe rature/high-pressure hydrothermal method acid characterized by single- crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(l)/n with a = 5.1409(5), b = 18.197(2), c = 7.1355(7) Angstrom, beta = 92.355(2)degrees, V = 667.0(2) Angstrom(3) and Z = 4. The structure consists of large channels where the Na+ cations are lo cated. The framework is built up from corner-sharing InO6 octahedra an d PO4 tetrahedra.
