Abstract: | Copper diphosphates (Cu2P2O7 · 5H2O, Cu1.6K0.8P2O7 · 1.7H2O, and Cu1.5K1.0P2O7 · 2.8H2O) were made by mixing aqueous solutions of tetrapotassium diphosphate and copper dichloride. When the diphosphates were heated, the decomposition of the diphosphates to orthophosphate was observed at a temperature lower than 150° C. The orthophosphate was polymerized by condensation to polyphosphates in the temperature range of about 150 to 450° C. The polyphosphates reorganized to diphosphate at 450 to 550° C according to the following reaction:
