Sodium diarsenate at room temperature is monoclinic with lattice parameters a = 5.969(1), b = 10.126(1), c = 12.272(3) A and P = 92.87(2)". There are four formula units per cell with space group C2/c. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares to a final R value of 0.027 utilizing 1157 reflections measured on a Syntex P i automatic diffractometer. The anion, consisting of two AsO, tetrahedra sharing a common oxygen atom, with a bridging angle of 123.5" at that oxygen atom, lies on a two-fold axis. The bridging As-0 bond lengths are 1.783 A and the average terminal As-0 bond length is 1.658 8, uncorrected for thermal motion. Both Na ions show fivefold coordination to oxygen atoms. One of these sodium ions has a long interaction (2.852 A) with the bridging oxygen atom of the anion. Na,As207 undergoes a series of phase transformations between room temperature and 220 "C, and a further major transformation near 680 "C.Le sodium diarsenate est monoclinique a la temperature ambiante avec comme parametres du reseau a = 5.969(1), b = 10.126(1), c = 12.272(3) A et P = 92.87(2)". La maille contient quatre unites et le groupe spatial est C2/c. La structure a ete raffinte par la matrice des moindres carres jusqu'a une valeur finale R de 0.027, apres utilisation de 1157 reflexions mesurtes sur un diffractometre Syntex Pi auto-
