Single crystals of lithium dysprosium polyphosphate, LiDy(PO3)4, were prepared by the flux method.The atomic arrangement is built up by infinite (PO3)n chains extending along ELECTRIC SMALL DIFFUSOR the b axis.Dy3+ and Li+ cations alternate in the middle of PARCHMENT BAKING PAPER four such chains, with Dy.

Li distances of 3.54 (1) and 3.48 (1) Å.

The DyO8 dodecahedra and LiO4 tetrahedra deviate significantly from the ideal geometry.Both Dy and Li occupy special positions (Wyckoff position 4e, site symmetry 2).
