Crystalline single-phase LiHf2(PO4)3 has been synthesized. It shows a phase transition at 235 K that has been characterized through DSC, low-temperature X-ray diffractometry, and ionic conductivity measurements. The crystal structures of the two phases have been established by neutron powder diffraction at 175 and 320 K. The room-temperature phase is rhombohedral R3c, Z = 6, a = 8.8306(1) A and c = 22.0270(5) A and the structure has been refined by the Rietveld method to Rwp = 6.29% and RF = 4.68%. The framework is similar to that shown by NASICON materials with the Li cations disordered out of the M1 position and close to the M1−M2 bottleneck site. The crystallographically refined composition was Li0.87Hf2.032(PO4)3 in agreement with the chemical analysis. The low-temperature phase is triclinic C1, Z = 4, a = 15.2680(4) A, b = 8.6946(3), c = 9.0722(2) A, α = 89.323(2)°, β = 123.740(2)°, and γ = 90.666(2)°, and the structure has been refined to Rwp = 4.61% and RF = 2.25%. This is a common reversible ord...
