Abstract

Employing 1-(2-Aminoethyl) piperazine as a template, a new organically templated layered zinc phosphate-phosphite (C6H17N 3)[Zn4(PO4)2(HPO3) 2] has been prepared hydrothermally. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc with a=5.3272(11)Å, b=17.146(3)Å, c=22.071(4)Å, β=94.58(3)°, V=2009.5(7)Å3, Z=4, R1=0.0201 (I>2σ(I)) and wR2=0.0812 (all data). The inorganic network is based on strictly alternating ZnO4 tetrahedral units and P-centered units including PO4 tetrahedra and HPO3 pseudo-pyramids forming a double layered structure that contains columns of double six-membered rings. The diprotonated 1-(2-Aminoethyl) piperazine molecules reside in the interlayer region and interact with the inorganic network through H-bonds.
