Abstract
Iron(III) phosphates have been synthesized directly under mild hydrothermal conditions. The reaction of FeCl3, H3PO4 and (NH2)(2)CO aqueous solutions at 180 degrees C leads to the formation of four individual compounds: FePO4 . 2H(2)O, Fe(NH4)(HPO4)(2), Fe-2(NH4)(OH)(PO4)(2). 2H(2)O and Fe(NH3)(2)PO4 . The reaction product depends on the Fe:P:C molar ratio in the reaction mi xture. The effect of urea on the reaction route is discussed.
