Decomposition of Pb(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 into PbHPO 4 and amorphous H 3 PO 4 proceeds crystallographically oriented. In order to prove a topotactic model for the mechanism of the reaction formerly derived from comparison of the structures, the As/P ratios of arsenatephosphate mixed crystals Pb[H 2 (As,P)O 4 ] 2 and of their reaction products PbH(As,P)O 4 and H 3 (As,P)O 4 were determined. The crystalline PbH(As,P)O 4 showed in each case a higher As‐content than the educt and the amorphous H 3 (As,P)O 4 . Comparison of these results with the expectation values according to probability theory for the As/P‐distribution confirm the topotactic mechanism of the reaction.
