The syntheses of Cu(PO 3 ) 2 , Cu 2 P 2 O 7 , Cu 4 P 2 O 9 , Cu 5 P 2 O 10 , Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , and Cu 2 PO 4 were accomplished by several new solid‐state routes. Attempts to synthesize CuPO 3 were unsuccessful, and it is suspected that this compound, which is reported in the literature, may not exist. The thermal stabilities of Cu(PO 3 ) 2 , Cu 2 P 2 O 7 and Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 were examined, and their decomposition was concluded to be strongly dependent on slow kinetics.
