Ag 6 (V IV O) 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 ) was obtained by reaction of Ag 3 PO 4 and (VO) 2 P 2 O 7 (sealed ampoule, 550°C, 3 d). The crystal structure of the new mixed ortho-pyrophosphate was determined from X-ray single-crystal data [Pnma, Z = 4, a = 12.759(3) Å, b = 17.340(4) Å, c = 6.418(1) Å, R 1 = 0.071, wR 2 = 0.184 for 3174 unique reflections with F o Ͼ 4σ(F o ), 141 variables]. Ag + ions are located in between layers [(V IV O) 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 )] 6-. Equilibrium relations of the * Prof. Dr. R. Glaum E-Mail: rglaum@uni-bonn.de [a]424 new phosphate to neighboring phases were determined. The electronic structure of the (V IV ϵO) 2+ group was investigated by polarized electronic absorption spectroscopy (ν 1a = 9450 cm -1 , ν 1b = 9950 cm -1 , ν 2 = 14750 cm -1 ), EPR spectroscopy [X-and Q-band, powder and single crystal, orthorhombic crystal g-tensor with g 1 = 1.9445(3), g 2 = 1.9521(3), g 3 = 1.9695(3)], and magnetic measurements (powder, μ exp /μ B = 1.71, Θ p = -1.7 K).
