“…Six different structure types based on mixed anionic one-dimensional ribbons formed by VO 5 (or VO 6 ) and PO 4 polyhedra have been described: A(VO 2 )(HPO 4 ), with A = K, Rb, NH 4 or Tl (Amoros et al, 1988;Huan et al, 1991); the -modification of (NH 4 )(VO 2 )(HPO 4 ) (Amoros & Le Bail, 1992); A 2 (VO 2 )(PO 4 ), with A = K or Na (Korthuis et al, 1993a); K 3 (VO 2 ) 2 (PO 4 )(HPO 4 )(H 2 O) (Leclaire et al, 2002); Ba 2 (VO 2 )(PO 4 )(HPO 4 )(H 2 O) (Bircsak & Harrison, 1998a) and Cd(VO 2 )(PO 4 )(H 2 O) (Leclaire et al, 2000). Among the two-dimensional layered structures, four different types can be distinguished: K(VO 2 ) 2 (PO 4 ) (Berrah et al, 1999); A(VO 2 )-(PO 4 ), with A = Ba, Sr or Pb (Kang et al, 1992;Borel et al, 2000); Ag 2 (VO 2 )(PO 4 ) (Kang et al, 1993) and (CN 3 H 6 ) 2 -(VO 2 ) 3 (PO 4 )(HPO 4 ) (Bircsak & Harrison, 1998b Layers of VO 5 bipyramids and PO 4 tetrahedra linked by Cu atoms to form a three-dimensional anionic framework in the Rb 2 Cu(VO 2 ) 2 (PO 4 ) 2 crystal structure.…”
