Rietveld refinements of X-ray powder diffraction data and vibrational spectroscopy have confirmed the crystal structure of Na{sub 2}MMgP{sub 2}O{sub 8} (M: Ba, Sr, Ca) prepared by a standard solid state reaction. They have glaserite-type layered structure. Na{sub 2}MMgP{sub 2}O{sub 8} has a trigonal P3-bar form for M=Ba, and monoclinic P2{sub 1}/c forms for M=Sr and Ca. The observed structural transition is analogous to the corresponding layered orthosilicate M{sub 3}MgSi{sub 2}O{sub 8}. Eu{sup 2+}-doped Na{sub 2}MMgP{sub 2}O{sub 8} exhibits an intense blue to violet emission under ultraviolet excitation, based on 5d-4f electron transition of Eu{sup 2+} ions. The emission character is very sensitive to the structural transition induced by M{sup 2+} and the subsequent site symmetry changes. - Graphical abstract: Emission properties of Na{sub 2}MMgP{sub 2}O{sub 8} (M: Ba, Sr, Ca) are discussed from the viewpoint of the crystal structure solved by X-ray powder diffraction technique. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Glaserite-type Na{sub 2}MMgP{sub 2}O{sub 8} (M: Ba, Sr, Ca) has been prepared by a solid state reaction. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Crystal system of Na{sub 2}MMgP{sub 2}O{sub 8} changes, depending on M{sup 2+} size. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Eu{sup 2+}-doped Na{sub 2}MMgP{sub 2}O{sub 8} exhibits blue to violet emission under ultraviolet irradiation.
