Barium Hypophosphate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Barium Magnesium hypophosphate has the molecular formula of Ba2P2O4 and the molecular weight of 432.8235 g/mol. It can be formed by an aqueous solution of hypophosphorus acid and a soluble barium salt:
2BaCl2 (aq) +H4P2O4 (aq) ? Ba2P2O4 (solid) + 2HCl (aq)
The barium salt solution is added until no precipitate results. Alternatively, sodium hypophosphate can be used to produce a basic solution instead of acidic. The basic product apparently is anhydrous since no record of a hydrate is known. The acidic product is a barium hydrogen hypophosphate, BaH2P2O6·2H2O. This salt is slightly soluble in water at 1.1 g/100 ml at 20°C. The basic salt is much less soluble at 0.00067 g/100 ml. Neither of these salts have a CAS number.
The crystal structure of the anhydrate or the hydrates has not been determined. The thermal decomposition of either of these two salts has not been determined.
