The first alkaline-earth metal tin(II) phosphate, BaSn2(PO4)(2), has been discovered, which consists of layered structures constructed from strictly alternating [SnO3](4-) and [PO4](3-) moieties. This compound is expected to have a large birefringence with Delta n approximate to 0.071 at 1064 nm, owing to the presence of stereochemically active lone pair metal cations.
