Abstract: Two new alkali-metal tin(II) phosphates – Na10Sn31(HPO4)6(P2O7)6(PO4)12 (1) and K2SnP2O7 (2) – were synthesized by high-temperature reactions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Na10Sn31(HPO4)6(P2O7)6(PO4)12 crystallized in the noncentrosymmetric space group P-62c (No. 190) with a =9.6445(1)Å, b =9.6445(1)Å, c =34.059(6)Å, V =2743.6(7)Å3 and Z =1. K2SnP2O7 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a =9.856(3)Å, b =6.7244(1)Å, c =12.225(3)Å, β =108.240(5)°, V =769. 5(3)Å3 and Z =4. Both structures exhibit a novel open-framework structure. The crystal structure of 1 contains SnO3 and SnO4 polyhedra sharing corners with [HPO4]2−, [PO4]3− and [P2O7]4− groups, which form tunnels of six rings filled with Na+ cations and parallel to the c-axis, which are connected via O–Sn–O bridges to form a three-dimensional open framework. The crystal structure of 2 contains SnO4 seesaw polyhedra sharing corners with diphosphate groups to form a three-dimensional [SnP2O7]2− framework that exhibits a tunnel structure of 10- and 12-membered rings expanding along [011] and [100] with four arrays of K+ cations located in channels of the framework.
