The solid solutions (V 1-x W x )OPO 4 with β-VOPO 4 structure type (0.0 Յ x Յ 0.01) and α II -VOPO 4 structure type (0.04 Յ x Յ 0.26) were obtained from mixtures of V V OPO 4 and W V OPO 4 by conventional solid state reactions and by solution combustion synthesis. Single crystals of up to 3 mm edge length were obtained by chemical vapor transport (CVT) (800 Ǟ 700°C, Cl 2 as a transporting agent). Single crystal structure refinements of crystals at x = 0.10 [a = 6.0503(2) Å, c = 4.3618(4) Å, R 1 = 0.021, wR 2 = 0.058, 21 parameters, 344 independent reflections] and x = 0.26 [a = 6.0979(2) Å, c = 4.2995(1) Å, R 1 = 0.030, wR 2 = 0.081, 21 parameters, 346 independent
