Tm3H5(PO4)2(P2O7)2, mixed-anion thulium hydrogen monophosphate-diphosphate, was synthesized by reaction of Tm2O3 with H3PO4 at 125°C using thin-layer technique. The compound was identified by chemical analysis, quantitative thin-layer chromatography, thermal analysis, and IR spectroscopy. It was found by preliminary powder XRD study that the obtained thulium phosphate has tetragonal unit cell with a=6.9092 (2), c=17.593 (1) Å; Z=2.
