AB - Titanium(III) phosphate, TiPO<sub>4</sub> , is a typical example of an oxyphosphorus compound containing covalent P−O bonds. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of TiPO<sub>4</sub> reveal complex and unexpected structural and chemical behavior as a function of pressure at room temperature. A series of phase transitions lead to the high-pressure phase V, which is stable above 46 GPa and features an unusual oxygen coordination of the phosphorus atoms. TiPO<sub>4</sub>-V is the first inorganic phosphorus-containing compound that exhibits fivefold coordination with oxygen. Up to the highest studied pressure of 56 GPa, TiPO<sub>4</sub>-V coexists with TiPO<sub>4</sub>-IV, which is less dense and might be kinetically stabilized. Above a pressure of about 6 GPa, TiPO<sub>4</sub>-II is found to be an incommensurately modulated phase whereas a lock-in transition at about 7 GPa leads to TiPO<sub>4</sub>-III with a fourfold superstructure compared to the structure of TiPO<sub>4</sub>-I at ambient conditions. TiPO<sub>4</sub>-II and TiPO<sub>4</sub>-III are similar to the corresponding low-temperature incommensurate and commensurate magnetic phases and reflect the strong pressure dependence of the spin-Peierls interactions.
