Single crystals of KTP-related phosphates of general formula KM {sup II} {sub 0.33}Nb{sub 0.67}PO{sub 5} (M {sup II}-Co, Mn) have been obtained in the pseudo-binary system K{sub 2}Mo{sub 2}O{sub 7}-KM {sup II} {sub 0.33}Nb{sub 0.67}PO{sub 5} by means of the flux technique. The compounds have been studied by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR and UV-VIS spectroscopy. Both complex phosphates belong to the tetragonal system and crystallize in the enantiomorphous polar space groups P4{sub 1} and P4{sub 3}. The structure contains cis-like helical chains which are connected by corner sharing Nb(M {sup II})O{sub 6} octahedra and further linked through the PO{sub 4} tetrahedra. The potassium cations are located in the channels running along [001] direction of the anionic framework [M {sup II} {sub 0.33}Nb{sub 0.67}PO{sub 5}]{sup -} and are irregularly coordinated by eight oxygen atoms. Potassium atom site is split into two equally occupied positions with q=0.5. - Graphical abstract: Chain-structure fragment of KM {sup II} {sub 0.33}Nb{sub 0.67}PO{sub 5} (M {sup II}-Mn, Co) viewed along the [100] direction. K atoms are located in the cavities of anionic framework.
