“…the dichromate structure type and the thortveitite structure type. When radius of B 2+ is smaller than 0.97Å [B=Mg (0.72), Mn (0.83), Co (0.745), Ni (0.69), Cu (0.73), Fe (0.78), and Zn (0.74)], B II P 2 O 7 crystallizes in the thortveitite-type structure [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], and when the radius of B 2+ is larger than 0.97Å [B=Sr (1.18), Ba (1.35), Ca (1), and Pb (1.19)], the structure is of the dichromate type [15,16]. The difference between these two structures depends on the P-O-P angle configuration of P 2 O 7 group.…”
