The title compound, hepta-sodium tetra-chromium(III) tetra-kis-(diphosphate) orthophosphate, was synthesized by solid-state reaction. Its structure is isotypic with that of Na7 M 4(P2O7)4PO4 (M = In, Al) compounds and is made up from a three-dimensional [(CrP2O7)4PO4](7-) framework with channels running along [001]. The three Na(+) cations are located in the voids of the framework. One of the cations is situated on a general position, one is equally disordered around a twofold rotation axis and one is on a fourfold rotoinversion axis. The isolated PO4 tetra-hedron of the anionic framework is also situated on the -4 axis. Structural relationships between the title compound and different diphosphates containing MP2O11 units (M = Mo, V) are discussed.
