Antimony phosphate, (also called antimony orthophosphate, or antimonous phosphate) is a chemical compound of antimony and phosphate with formula SbPO4. Antimony is in the form Sb(III) with +3 oxidation state. Antimony atoms have a lone pair of electrons.
SbPO4 occurs as a layered compound. Two-dimensional layers are weakly held together by electrostatic forces. SbPO4 is one of the most compressible materials, and under pressure compresses more perpendicular to the layers. At standard conditions SbPO4 crystallises in a monoclinic form [2] with space group P21/m. Antimony phosphate has been investigated for use in lithium ion and sodium ion batteries. [3] [4]
Antimony atoms are attached to four oxygen atoms. These atoms are arranged as a squarish pyramid with antimony at the apex. Antimony atoms form the top and bottom of the layers. Four oxygen atoms are arranged tetrahedrally around phosphorus. [2] Antimony to oxygen bond lengths are 1.98 2.04 2.18 and 2.93 Å. the O-Sb-O angles are 87.9 164.8 84.1 and 85.0°. [2] The structure of SbPO4 differs from two forms of BiPO4, where bismuth associates with five or eight phosphate groups. [2]
In SbPO4 the 31P chemical shift is −18 ppm. The binding energy of the 2p electrons of phosphorus atom as determined by XPS is 133.9 eV. [5]
When the pressure exceeds 3 GPa, bonds form between the layers, but it retains the monoclinic system. But when the pressure is between 9 and 20 GPa, it transitions to a triclinic form with space group P1. [6] 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.9b02268
The infrared spectrum shows absorption bands at 1145, 1052, and 973, 664, 590, 500, 475, and 372 cm−1. These are due to vibrations in P-O and Sb-O bonds and also bending in O-P-O bonds. [7]
Antimony(V) phosphate SbOPO4 has monoclinic crystals. It has space group C2c. The unit cell has dimensions a = 6.791 Å, b = 8.033 Å, c = 7.046 Å, and β = 115.90°, with number of formula per unit cell of Z = 4. It is formed by heating Sb2O5·xH2O and (NH4)H2PO4. At 1218 K it loses oxygen to become antimony(III) phosphate. [8]
SbPO4 may be formed by soaking antimonous oxide in pure phosphoric acid and then filtering the solid, and heating to 600°C. [7]
A related method involves heating a water solution of phosphoric acid with antimonous oxide at about 120°C. [9]
Yet another procedure involves heating diammonium phosphate with antimonous oxide at 600°C. [9]
SbPO4 reacts with bases such as ammonia, hydrazine and ethylenediamine to form Sb2O3 and hydrogenphosphate salts. [7]
However intercalation is also claimed with amines. [9] Intercalation of amines expands the a axis of the crystals, but leaves c, and c dimensions unaltered. The β angle is reduced. This is due to a bilayer of molecules inserting between each layer in the original crystal. [9]
There are also double salts where phosphate groups are joined to antimony.

Zirconium phosphates (zirconium hydrogen phosphate) are acidic, inorganic cation exchange materials that have a layered structure with formula Zr(HPO4)2∙nH2O. These salts have high thermal and chemical stability, solid state ion conductivity, resistance to ionizing radiation, and the capacity to incorporate different types of molecules with different sizes between their layers. There are various phases of zirconium phosphate which vary in their interlaminar spaces and their crystalline structure. Among all the Zirconium phosphate phases the most widely used are the alpha (Zr(HPO4)2∙H2O) and the gamma (Zr(PO4)(H2PO4)∙2H2O) phase. The salts have been widely used in several applications such as: drug delivery, catalysis, nanocomposite, nuclear waste management, clinical dialyzer, among others.
Langbeinites are a family of crystalline substances based on the structure of langbeinite with general formula M2M'2(SO4)3, where M is a large univalent cation, and M' is a small divalent cation. The sulfate group, SO2−4, can be substituted by other tetrahedral anions with a double negative charge such as tetrafluoroberyllate, selenate, chromate, molybdate, or tungstates. Although monofluorophosphates are predicted, they have not been described. By redistributing charges other anions with the same shape such as phosphate also form langbeinite structures. In these the M' atom must have a greater charge to balance the extra three negative charges.
Cobalt phosphate is the inorganic compound with the formula Co3(PO4)2. It is a commercial inorganic pigment known as cobalt violet. Thin films of this material are water oxidation catalysts.
Vanadium phosphates are inorganic compounds with the formula VOxPO4 as well related hydrates with the formula VOxPO4(H2O)n. Some of these compounds are used commercially as catalysts for oxidation reactions.
The phosphidosilicates or phosphosilicides are inorganic compounds containing silicon bonded to phosphorus and one or more other kinds of elements. In the phosphosilicates each silicon atom is surrounded by four phosphorus atoms in a tetrahedron. The triphosphosilicates have a SiP3 unit, that can be a planar triangle like carbonate CO3. The phosphorus atoms can be shared to form different patterns e.g. [Si2P6]10− which forms pairs, and [Si3P7]3− which contains two-dimensional double layer sheets. [SiP4]8− with isolated tetrahedra, and [SiP2]2− with a three dimensional network with shared tetrahedron corners. SiP clusters can be joined, not only by sharing a P atom, but also by way of a P-P bond. This does not happen with nitridosilicates or plain silicates.
Nickel is one of the metals that can form Tutton's salts. The singly charged ion can be any of the full range of potassium, rubidium, cesium, ammonium (), or thallium. As a mineral the ammonium nickel salt, (NH4)2Ni(SO4)2 · 6 H2O, can be called nickelboussingaultite. With sodium, the double sulfate is nickelblödite Na2Ni(SO4)2 · 4 H2O from the blödite family. Nickel can be substituted by other divalent metals of similar sized to make mixtures that crystallise in the same form.

An oxyhydride is a mixed anion compound containing both oxide O2− and hydride ions H−. These compounds may be unexpected as the hydrogen and oxygen could be expected to react to form water. But if the metals making up the cations are electropositive enough, and the conditions are reducing enough, solid materials can be made that combine hydrogen and oxygen in the negative ion role.
The telluride oxides or oxytellurides are double salts that contain both telluride and oxide anions. They are in the class of mixed anion compounds.
The borophosphates are mixed anion compounds containing borate and phosphate anions, which may be joined together by a common oxygen atom. Compounds that contain water or hydroxy groups can also be included in the class of compounds.
Borate phosphates are mixed anion compounds containing separate borate and phosphate anions. They are distinct from the borophosphates where the borate is linked to a phosphate via a common oxygen atom. The borate phosphates have a higher ratio of cations to number of borates and phosphates, as compared to the borophosphates.
Sulfidostannates, or thiostannates are chemical compounds containing anions composed of tin linked with sulfur. They can be considered as stannates with sulfur substituting for oxygen. Related compounds include the thiosilicates, and thiogermanates, and by varying the chalcogen: selenostannates, and tellurostannates. Oxothiostannates have oxygen in addition to sulfur. Thiostannates can be classed as chalcogenidometalates, thiometallates, chalcogenidotetrelates, thiotetrelates, and chalcogenidostannates. Tin is almost always in the +4 oxidation state in thiostannates, although a couple of mixed sulfides in the +2 state are known,
