Abstract

Mixed phosphorous or arsenic salts of tetravalent metals are provided having the general formula M(HAO.sub.4).sub.2-x (HAO.sub.3).sub.x.nH.sub.2 O, where M is Zr, Ti or Hf, A is phosphorus or arsenic, x is between 0.05 and 1.95, and n is 0 to 6. The salts are highly stable and have wide potential application in the fields of ion exchange, catalysis, intercalation of molecules, solid electrolytes, and chromatography. The salts are prepared by reacting a halide, oxyhalide, nitrate, sulphate, phosphate or oxide of the tetravalent metal, preferably in an aqueous medium, with at least two oxygenated acids of phosphorus and/or arsenic.
