Abstract :
The hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of the simple inorganic compound CaHPO3, which crystallizes in the chiral space group P43212, are reported. The structure is built up from distorted CaO7 capped trigonal prisms and HPO3 pseudo pyramids, which share corners and edges to generate a three-dimensional network.
