Na₃Ge₂P₃: A Zintl Phase Featuring [P₃Ge-GeP₃] Dimers as Building Blocks.

ABSTRACT: Recently, ternary lithium phosphidotetrelates have attracted interest particularly due to their high ionic conductivities, while corresponding sodium and heavier alkali metal compounds have been less investigated. Hence, we report the synthesis and characterization of the novel ternary sodium phosphidogermanate Na₃Ge₂P₃, which is readily accessible via ball milling of the elements and subsequent annealing. According to single crystal X-ray structure determination, Na₃Ge₂P₃ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c (no. 14.) with unit cell parameters of a = 7.2894(6) Å, b = 14.7725(8) Å, c = 7.0528(6) Å, β = 106.331(6)° and forms an unprecedented two-dimensional polyanionic
