Phosphorus pentoxide crystallizes in at least four forms or polymorphs.The most familiar one, a metastable form [1] (shown in the figure), comprises molecules of P 4 O 10.Weak van der Waals forces hold these molecules together in a hexagonal lattice (However, in spite of the high symmetry of the molecules, the crystal packing is not a close packing [2]).
Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
POCl 3 can also act as a Lewis base, forming adducts with a variety of Lewis acids such as titanium tetrachloride: POCl 3 + TiCl 4 → POCl 3 ·TiCl 4. The aluminium chloride adduct (POCl 3 ·AlCl 3) is quite stable, and so POCl 3 can be used to remove AlCl 3 from reaction mixtures, for example at the end of a Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Its structure is shown in the illustration. Since the ends are condensed, its formula has one less H 2 O (water) than tripolyphosphoric acid. The general formula of a phosphoric acid is H n −2 x +2 P n O 3 n − x +1 , where n is the number of phosphorus atoms and x is the number of fundamental cycles in the molecule's structure; that is, the ...

Solutions of dinitrogen pentoxide in nitric acid can be seen as nitric acid with more than 100% concentration. The phase diagram of the system H 2 O − N 2 O 5 shows the well-known negative azeotrope at 60% N 2 O 5 (that is, 70% HNO 3), a positive azeotrope at 85.7% N 2 O 5 (100% HNO 3), and another negative one at 87.5% N 2 O 5 ("102% HNO 3 ...
This trigonal bipyramidal structure persists in nonpolar solvents, such as CS 2 and CCl 4. [5] In the solid state PCl 5 is an ionic compound called tetrachlorophosphonium hexachlorophosphate formulated PCl + 4 PCl − 6.
