Abstract

The title compound [Mn5(H2PO4)2 (PO4)2(H2O)4] was hydrothermally synthesized in the presence of calix[4]arene-p-tetrasulfonate. The title compound was structurally characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 1.762 9(4) nm, b = 0.913 44(18) nm, c = 0.949 77(19) nm, β = 96.52(3)°, V = 1.519 5(5) nm3, Z = 4 and R1 = 0.028 3, and exhibits a three-dimensional framework and channel structure. It was proposed that calixarene can act as template during the formation of the title compound because calixarene can bind Mn2+ through second-sphere coordination.
