“…Na 4 CaFe 4 (PO 4 ) 6 which adopts the ISSN 2056-9890 Alluaudite structure in the ideal C2/c space group (Hidouri et al, 2004), Ba 3 V4(PO 4 ) 6 which crystallizes as a Langbeinitetype structure (Dross & Glaum, 2004), CuTi 4 (PO 4 ) 6 which belongs to the Nasicon family (Kasuga et al, 1999), the silver lead apatite Pb 8 Ag 2 (PO 4 ) 6 (Ternane et al, 2000), the mixedvalent iron(II/III) phosphate Fe 7 (PO 4 ) 6 (Belik et al, 2000) and Na 2.5 Y 0.5 Mg 7 (PO 4 ) 6 with a Fillowite-type structure (Jerbi et al, 2010). Through hydrothermal processes, and as part of our systematic studies of the crystal alkaline and alkaline earth monophosphates, we have previously succeeded in elaborating a number of compounds with three-dimensional networks featuring distinctive cavities including AgMg 3 (H-PO 4 ) 2 PO 4 (Assani et al, 2011), Sr 2 Mn 3 (HPO 4 ) 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (Khmiyas et al, 2013), SrMn 2 II Mn III (PO 4 ) 3 (Alhakmi et al, 2013), NaMg 3 (HPO 4 ) 2 PO 4 (Ould Saleck et al, 2015). In an extension of our investigations and structural studies of various mono-divalent transition-metal phosphates a new phosphate copper (Cu II )-based AgSr 4 Cu 4.5 (PO 4 ) 6 was prepared and successfully characterized.…”
