Abstract

The structure of the title compound, ammonium hexaaquacobalt(II) orthophosphate, known from powder data, has been refined based on single-crystal data. The compound crystallizes in the struvite [NH 4Mg(H2O)6PO4] structure type and is isotypic with the homologous nickel phase. The framework is built of NH 4+, [Co(H2O)6]2+ and PO43- ions stacked in two kinds of ribbons parallel to (010). CoII atoms are well separated in the framework, with the shortest Co⋯Co distance being over 6 Å.
