A new molybdenum(V) diphosphate KMoP 2 O 8 has been isolated. The single crystal X‐ray diffraction study of this phase has shown that it is isotypic with KNbP 2 O 8 . It crystallizes in the P2 1 /n space group a = 5.0862(4), b = 11.720(1), c = 11.486(1) Å, β = 90.91(1)°. The structure of this phase is compared with those of other molybdenum(V) diphosphates. This tunnel structure is described in terms of [MP 2 O 8 ] 8 ∞ ribbons running along ā, showing close relationships with the titanophosphate NaTiP 2 O 7 . The existence of one free apex for each MoO 6 octahedron and each P 2 O 7 group, respectively, is emphasized, allowing a great flexibility of the structure.
