Abstract

Na2HPO4(H2O)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.61 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted NaO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent NaO5 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one NaO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.52 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.63 Å. There are five inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.71 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.70 Å) H–O bond length. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.03 Å) and one longer (1.60 Å) H–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Na1+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and two H1+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Na1+ and two H1+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom.
