The title compound, tripotassium gadolinium(III) bis-[ortho-phosphate(V)], was synthesized by a high-temperature solution reaction. Of the 12 atoms of the asymmetric unit (1 × Gd, 2 × P, 3 × K, 6 × O), all but two O atoms (which are in general positions) lie on mirror planes. The crystal structure features sheets of composition [Gd(PO(4))(2)](3-) which extend parallel to (100) and are built up from isolated PO(4) tetra-hedra and GdO(7) monocapped prisms through corner- and edge-sharing. The K(+) ...[more]
