The three‐dimensional SiP 4 network in the known phosphidosilicate Ba 2 SiP 4 ‐ tI 28 is analogous to β‐Cristobalite if oxygen is formally replaced by P–P dimers. Here we report a second polymorph Ba 2 SiP 4 ‐ oP 56 [ Pnma, a = 12.3710(4) Å, b = 14.6296(7) Å, c = 7.9783(3) Å; Z = 8] with chains of SiP 4 tetrahedra connected by P–P bonds, reminiscent to the elusive fibrous SiO 2 . Ba 2 SiP 4 is enantiotropic. The high temperature polymorph Ba 2 SiP 4 ‐ oP 56 transforms to the low‐temperature phase Ba 2 SiP 4 ‐ tI 28 at 650 °C and reconstructs to the high‐temperature modification at 1100 °C. DFT calculations predict an indirect optical bandgap of about 1.7 eV.
