Two chain gallium fluorodiphosphates: synthesis, structure solution, and their transient presence during the hydrothermal crystallisation of a microporous gallium fluorophosphate.
Two novel gallium fluorodiphosphates have been isolated and their structures solved ab initio from powder X-ray diffraction data; the materials readily interconvert under hydrothermal conditions, and are metastable with respect to an open-framework zeolitic gallium fluorophosphate, during the synthesis of which they are present as transient intermediates.
