Preparation and structure

The tetrahydrate Co3(PO4)2•4H2O precipitates as a solid upon mixing aqueous solutions of cobalt(II) and phosphate salts. [4] [5] Upon heating, the tetrahydrate converts to the anhydrous material. According to X-ray crystallography, the anhydrous Co3(PO4)2 consists of discrete phosphate (PO3−
4) anions that link Co2+
 centres. The cobalt ions occupy both octahedral (six-coordinate) and pentacoordinate sites in a 1:2 ratio. [6] [7]
