Purple crystals of the title compound, cobalt dizinc phosphate tetra­hydrate, have been prepared hydro­thermally. It is isostructural with hopeite, Zn3(PO4)2·4H2O, with cobalt completely substituted for zinc at the octa­hedral site, resulting in [ZnPO4] layers bridged by cis Co(H2O)4O2 octa­hedra. Various O—H...O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the structure. The Co atom and two water O atoms occupy special positions with mirror symmetry,

Green crystals of the title compound, nickel dizinc phosphate tetra­hydrate, have been prepared hydro­thermally. The compound is isostructural with hopeite, Zn3(PO4)2·4H2O, with nickel completely substituted for zinc at the octa­hedral site, resulting in [ZnPO4] layers bridged by cis Ni(H2O)4O2 octa­hedra. O—H...O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the structure. The Ni atom and two water O atoms occupy special positions with mirror symmetry.
