Abstract: Hydrothermal synthesis of MSn2(PO4)3(M=Na, K, NH4)compounds has been carried out at lower temperature,and their pure phases were easily obtained by hydrothermal crystallization. The compounds crystallize in rho. mbohedral form with a=0.8526(2)nm and c=2.247(4) nm for NaSn2(PO4)3, a=0.8366(1) nm and c=2.356(4) nm for KSn2(PO4)3, a=0.8330(l) nm and c=2.390(5)nm for NH4Sn2(PO4)3.The results of thermal analysis show that for Na and Kanalogues neither decomposition nor condensation took place up to ll00℃, whereas NH4Sn2(PO4)3could exist stably below 769℃,above this temperature it could be transformed to HSn2(PO4)3LiSn2(PO4)3and HSn2(PO4)3could not be prepared directly by hydrothermal method. Apossible explanation for this is given.
