Abstract

C4N2O3H8·ZnHPO 3 is the first zincophosphite framework to be templated by an amino acid (L-asparagine), which bonds to Zn via a carboxyl O atom. It contains infinite, homochiral, helical 4-ring chains of ZnO4 and HPO 3 groups, stabilized by intra- and interchain N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Crystal data: C4N2O3H 8·ZnHPO3, Mr = 277.49, orthorhombic, P212121 (No. 19), a = 5.0349(2) Å, b = 9.4539(4) Å, c = 18.6092(8) Å, V = 885,79 (6) Å3, Z = 4.
