Nickel(II) phosphate

Nickel(II) phosphate is an inorganic compound with the formula Ni3(PO4)2.

It is a mint green paramagnetic solid that is insoluble in water.

[3] The hydrate Ni3(PO4)2·8(H2O) is a light green solid, which can be prepared by hydrothermal synthesis[4] and also occurs as the mineral arupite.

It features octahedral Ni centers, which are bound to water and phosphate.
