Biuretooxophosphates represent a link between carbon nitride and phosphorus (oxo)nitride precursor chemistry being closely related to cyanurates and trimetaphosphimates. The group of alkali biuretooxophosphates has been complemented by the synthesis of four salts M[PO 2 (NH) 3 (CO) 2 ]· xH 2 O in which M = Li, K, Rb, and Cs (x = 1, 0, 0.5, 0, respectively). The structures were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with the corresponding ammonium and sodium salts. For all of the salts, the 1-phospha-2,4,6-striazine ring exhibits a nearly planar conformation with the [a]
