Abstract
A new calcium copper orthophosphate Ca10Cu(PO4)7 has been prepared and characterized. The compound is stable in the temperature range of 300 -1200 K in inert atmosphere or 300-680 K in air. The compound Ca10Cu(P O4)7 is crystallized in the rhombohedral system with whitlockite-type structure. The space group is R3c, the lattice constants are: a=10.442 (1), c=37.39(1)angstrom, V=3531(1)angstrom3. There are two different c opper sites in the structure.
