The Structures of Na3Ln(XO4)2 Phases (Ln = Rare-Earth, X = P, V, As)

Abstract

A complete and detailed structural description of sodium rare-earth orthophosphates, orthovanadates and orthoarsenates, with general formula Na3Ln(XO4)2 (Ln = rare-earth, X = P, V, As), is presented. Their structural evolution has been studied not only as a function of the Ln3+ ion size and the (XO4)3− group, but also as a function of temperature.

A number of allotropic forms have been observed for each pair Ln3+−(XO4)3−. The different structure types found during this study have been identified due to the complete structure determinations of the low temperature varieties of Na3Nd(PO4)2, Na3La(VO4)2, Na3Nd(VO4)2 and Na3Er(VO4)2, and the high temperature form of Na3Yb(PO4)2. The first four structures can be considered as derivated structures of the glaserite type, while the last one corresponds to phases having an extended non-stoichiometry and is related to the structure of NaZr2(PO4)3.
