There being two forms of periodic acid, it follows that two types of periodate salts are formed. For example, sodium metaperiodate, NaIO4, can be synthesised from HIO4 while sodium orthoperiodate, Na5IO6 can be synthesised from H5IO6.
Orthoperiodic acid forms monoclinic crystals (space group P21/n) consisting of slightly deformed IO6 octahedron interlinked via bridging hydrogens.
The crystal structure of metaperiodic acid also includes IO6 octahedron, however these are connected via cis-edge-sharing with bridging oxygens to form one-dimensional infinite chains.
