Abstract

By application of a combinatorial approach, a new open-framework zinc phosphate [C6H16N2]·[Zn 2(HPO4)3] (denoted as phase D) has been obtained in the Zn(OAc)2·2H2O/H3PO 4/N,N′-dimethylpiperazine/ethylene glycol solvothermal reaction system at 180 °C. The factors influencing formation of the reaction products, such as crystallization temperature, solvent, as well as gel compositions, have been systematically studied. Phase D was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, ICP, and TG analyses, and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n (no.14), with a = 8.6931(3) Å, b = 14.4394(5) Å, c = 12.6492(3) Å, β = 96.418(2)°, and Z = 4. It is composed of ZnO4, PO3(OH) and PO2(OH)(=O) tetrahedral units linked by Zn-O-P bonds, forming an open-framework with intersecting eight-membered ring channels along the [100], [010], and [101] directions.
