Single crystals of eight new layered uranyl phosphates were grown from alkali chloride fluxes: Cs_1.4K_2.6[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], Cs_0.7K_3.3[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], Rb_1.4K_2.6[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], K₄[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], K_2.9Na_0.9Rb_0.2[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], K_2.1Na_0.7Rb_1.2[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], Cs_1.7K_4.3[(UO₂)₅O₅(PO₄)₂], and Rb_1.6K_4.4[(UO₂)₅O₅(PO₄)₂]. All structures crystallize in the monoclinic space group, P2₁/c and contain uranyl phosphate layers with alkali metals located between the layers for charge balance. Ion exchange experiments on Cs_0.7K_3.3[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], Rb_1.4K_2.6[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], and K₄[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂] demonstrated that Cs and Rb cations cannot be exchanged for K cations; however, K cations can be readily exchanged for Na, Rb, and Cs. Enthalpies of formation were calculated from density functional theory (DFT) and volume-based thermodynamics (VBT) for all six structures. A value for the enthalpy of formation of the phosphuranylite sheet, [(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂]^4–, was derived using single-ion additive methods coupled with VBT. Finally, DFT and VBT calculations were used to justify results of the ion exchange experiments. Cs_0.7K_3.3[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], Rb_1.4K_2.6[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂], and K₄[(UO₂)₃O₂(PO₄)₂] exhibit typical luminescence of the uranyl group.
