Using N, N-dimethyl-piperazine as structure directing agent, two new gallium phosphite-oxalates [Ga{sub 2}(HPO{sub 3}){sub 2}(H{sub 2}PO{sub 3}){sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4})](C{sub 6}N{sub 2}H{sub 16}) (I) and [Ga{sub 2}(HPO{sub 3}){sub 2}(H{sub 2}PO{sub 3})(C{sub 2}O{sub 4})](C{sub 6}N{sub 2}H{sub 16}){sub 0.5} (II) have been synthesized under solvothermal and hydrothermal conditions, respectively and further characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, TGA, ICP-AES and elemental analyses. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the striking feature of I and II is that they possess the same second building unit (SBU) Ga{sub 2}P{sub 2} constructed from two GaO{sub 6} octahedra and two [HPO{sub 3}{sup 2−}] pseudo-pyramids sharing oxygen atoms. However, due to the different connecting fashions of SBUs, [C{sub 2}O{sub 4}{sup 2−}] groups and [H{sub 2}PO{sub 3}{sup −}] pseudo-pyramids, the final frameworks of them are distinctly different. Compound I shows 2D layered structures with 8-membered ring (8-MR) windows in the ab plane while compound II presents a 3D open-framework with 8-MR channels along the b axis. - Graphical abstract: Using N, N-dimethyl-piperazine as structure directing agent, two new gallium phosphite-oxalates I showing 2D layered structure and II presenting 3D open-framework have been synthesized under solvothermal and hydrothermal conditions, respectively. - Highlights: • Using N, N-dimethyl-piperazine as structure directing agent, two new gallium phosphite-oxalates have been synthesized under solvothermal and hydrothermal conditions, respectively. • The same second building unit (SBU) is displayed in both compounds. • Compound I shows 2D layered structure with 8-MR windows while compound II presents 3D open-framework with 8-MR channels. • The solvent plays an important role on the formation of microporous compounds.
