Crystal structure of the deuterated heptahydrate of potassium phosphate, K3PO4·7D2O.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Deuterated potassium orthophosphate heptahydrate, K3PO4·7D2O, crystallizes in the Sohnke space group P21, and its absolute structure was determined from 2017 Friedel pairs [Flack parameter 0.004?(16)]. Each of the three crystallographically unique K+ cations is surrounded by six water molecules and one oxygen atom from the orthophosphate group, using a threshold for K—O bonds of 3.10?Å. The highly irregular coordination polyhedra are linked by corner- and edge-sharing into a three-dimensional network that is consolidated by an intricate network of O—D?O hydrogen bonds of medium strength.
