Potassium cobalt hydrogenpyrophosphate dihydrate, KHCoP2O7·2H2O, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma. This salt is isotypic with KHMP2O7·2H2O (M = Mn and Zn). The structure consists of alternating layers, built from HP2O73- acidic pyrophosphate groups and CoO6 octahedra, joined by potassium ions and bridging hydrogen bonds. The Co, K and water O atoms lie on mirror planes. The pyrophosphate group consists of two symmetry-related PO4 groups, with the bridging O atom on a mirror plane.

Comment top

Hydrated or anhydrous pyrophosphates containing acidic anionic [H3P2O7],[H2P2O7]2− or [HP2O7]3− entities are topics of wide-spread interest in the crystallographic literature (Corbridge, 1957; Dumas et al., 1973; Mathew & Schroeder, 1977; Durif & Averbuch-Pouchot, 1982; Haromy-Tuli et al., 1984; Effenberger, 1987; Haromy-Tuli et al., 1990; Simonova et al., 1991; Byrappa & Umesh Dutt, 1994; Hsu & Wang, 1999; Chehimi et al., 2001; Blum et al., 2002; Ivashkevich et al., 2002; Chehimi et al., 2002). The present paper is an extension of our earlier work on the acidic pyrophosphates that we have recently realised and analyzed, viz. KHMP2O7·2H2O (M = Mn, Zn) (Assaaoudi et al., 2002) and Na4Mg2(H2P2O7)4·8H2O (Harcharras et al., accepted). We report here the crystal structure of the new pyrophosphate, KHCoP2O7·2H2O.

The pyrophosphate group consists of two symmetry-related PO4 groups, with the bridging atom (O1) in a special position. The Co-atom octahedron and pyrophosphate groups are depicted in Figs. 1a and 1 b. The three-dimensional structure is built from acidic pyrophosphate–CoII layers stacked along the c axis (Fig. 2), alternating with layers of K+ ions. The Co2+ ions are octahedrally surrounded by four O atoms from three different pyrophosphate anions and by two water molecules (Table 1).

It is possible to distinguish three types of P—O distances, viz. P—O1 bonds [1.618 (2) Å, which is the longest bond] corresponding to the bridging O atoms, P—O2 bonds [1.541 (2) Å] involving hydroxyl groups, and P—O(3,4) bonds corresponding to the external O atoms [mean 1.502 (2) Å, which are the shortest bonds). The HP2O73− anions show an eclipsed conformation, with a P—O—P bridging angle of 130.5 (2)°; the average O—P—O angle is 109.4°. The hydrogen-bond bridging is depicted in Table 2.

Experimental top

An aqueous solution of cobalt dichloride hexahydrate CoCl2·6H2O (0.1M) was added dropwise to a solution of K4P2O7 (0.1M). Anhydrous tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, K4P2O7, was prepared by dehydration of K2HPO4 at 873 K for 6 h. The pH of the mixture of these two solutions was controlled with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The solution was left at room temperature and crystals appeared in the solution after 4 d. They were identified as KHCoP2O7·2H2O.

Refinement top

H atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and were restrained to lie 0.96 Å from their carrier atoms, with fixed displacement parameters of 0.035 Å2. H2 was split into two half-occupied positions around a centre of inversion.
