“…All have the general formula A 2-x B 2 O 6 (O, OH, F)ÁnH 2 O, where A may belong to a long list of metal ions: lead, iron, calcium, potassium, bismuth, sodium, barium, cerium, caesium, tin, strontium, thorium, uranium, yttrium, zirconium and/or antimony, while B represents an octahedral site in the structure and can be any of the following metal ions: niobium, tungsten, tin, tantalum and/or titanium. In the course of our systematic research, the hydrothermal synthesis has been used to synthesise new materials exhibiting promising ion-exchange properties [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], such as ammonium-titanium(IV) phosphate, (NH 4 ) 0.79 (P 1.14 Ti 0.86 )O 3.93 (OH) 2.07 , with a pyrochlore-type structure [11]. Its framework is made up of MO 6 (M = P, Ti) octahedra connected by vertices, where M atoms occupy the 16c site, the 8b site is partially occupied by NH 4 ?…”
