Tetrahedral-network organo-zincophosphates: Syntheses and structures of (N2C6H14)center dot Zn(HPO4)(2)center dot H2O, H3N(CH2)(3)NH3 center dot Zn-2(HPO4)(3), and (N2C6H14)center dot Zn-3(HPO4)(4)

The solution-mediated syntheses and single crystal structures of (N2C6H14) . Zn(HPO4)(2) . H-2 (I), H3N(CH2)(3)NH3 . Zn-2(HPO4)(3) (II), and (N2C6H14) . Zn-3(HPO4)(4) (III) are described. These phases contain vertex-sharing ZnO4 and HPO4 tetrahedra, accompanied by doubly protonated organic cations. Despite their formal chemical relationship, as members of the series of t . Zn-n(HPO4)(n+1) (t = template, n 1-3), these phases adopt fundamentally different crystal structures, as one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional ZnO4/HPO4 networks, for I, II, and III, respectively. Similarities and differences to some other zinc phosphates are briefly discussed. Crystal data: (N2C6H14) .
