Single crystals of yttrium penta-phosphate(V), YP(5)O(14), were obtained by solid-state reaction. The ortho-rhom-bic title compound belongs to the family of ultraphosphates and is the second polymorph of this composition. It is isotypic with its Ho and Er analogues. The structure contains two bridging Q(2)-type PO(4) tetra-hedra and one branching Q(3)-type PO(4) tetra-hedron, leading to infinite ultraphosphate ribbons running along the a axis. The coordination polyhedron around the Y(3+) cation ...[more]
