Abstract

K2Zn3(P2O7)2 was synthesized by solid state reaction and its crystal structure was determined by ab initio method from powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The title compound was determined to be orthorhombic with space group P212121, Z=4, and lattice parameters a=12.901(8) Å, b=10.102(6) Å, and c=9.958(1) Å. Values of lattice parameters from 303 to 573 K were measured by temperature-dependent XRD. Thermal expansion coefficients α0, lattice parameters, and cell volume at 0 K were determined to be α0(a)=1.62327×10−4/K, a0=12.855(4) Å, α0(b)=1.17921×10−4/K, b0=10.070(8) Å, α0(c)=2.62364×10−4/K, c0=9.880(4) Å, and α0(V)=6.599×10−2/K, V0=1278.967(0) Å3. The specific heat equation as a function of temperature was determined to be Cp=0.77115+0.00231T−1241.60027T−2−1.4133×10−6T2 (J/K g), for temperatures from 198 to 710 K. The melting point estimated from the μ-DTA heating curve is 795 °C.
