A new, alternative route to the synthesis of metal phosphates by using silicon pyrophosphate as a reagent was studied. The reaction of silicon pyrophosphate with metal oxides yields a solid mixture of silica and metal phsophates; its reaction with metal flourides yields solid metal phosphates and gaseous mixtures of SiF//4 and POF//3.
