Abstract

A new layered inorganic-organic hybrid gallium phosphate, Ga2 (phen)(HPO4)3 (phen=1,10-phenanthroline), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR, elemental analysis, ICP, power X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P-1 (No. 2), a=7.7730(6) Å, b=11.7968(10) Å, c=12.1458(9) Å, α=114.089(2)°, β=102.310(2) °, γ=102.905(2)°, V=931.28(13) Å3, Z=2. The structure is built from strictly alternating GaO4N2 octahedra, GaO4 tetrahedra and HPO4 tetrahedra through their vertices, forming a neutral layered architecture grafted with phen ligands. The adjacent sheets are stacked in an AAAA sequence along [0 0 1] direction and held together by strong π-π interactions.
