Abstract

Trivalent metal hypophosphites with the general formula M(H2PO2)3 (M = V, Al, Ga) adopt the ReO3 structure, with each compound displaying two structural polymorphs. High-pressure synchrotron X-ray studies reveal a pressure-driven phase transition in Ga(H2PO2)3 that can be understood on the basis of ab initio thermodynamics.
