Abstract
One mixed-metal phosphite namely, Pb2Ga(HPO3)3(PO3) (Compound 1) was obtained by a facile hydrothermal method and structurally characterized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that crystallizes in the orthorhombic, space group Cmcm with unit cell dimensions, a=5.2572(12) Å, b=18.505(5) Å, c=12.544(3) Å and α=β=γ=90°. The crystal structure of Pb2Ga(HPO3)3(PO3) exhibits a complicated 3D framework based on PbO6 and GaO6 octahedral connected by HPO3 and H2PO3 anions via corner- or edge-sharing
