Two zinc phosphates (ZnPO), [H{sub 2}(N{sub 2}C{sub 9}H{sub 20})].[Zn(H{sub 2}PO{sub 4}){sub 4}] (I) and [H{sub 2}(N{sub 2}C{sub 9}H{sub 20})]{sub 2}.[Zn{sub 2}(HPO{sub 4}){sub 3}(H{sub 2}PO{sub 4}){sub 2}].H{sub 2}O (II), are synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using 4-amino-2.2.6.6-tetramethylpiperidine as organic template. I crystallizes in P1-bar space group with a=8.7398(3)A, b=9.0417(3)A, c=15.3822(1)A, {alpha}=92.57(1){sup o}, {beta}=89.76(1){sup o}, {gamma}=102.16(2){sup o}, V=1187.1(1)A{sup 3} and Z=2. Its structure, refined to R=0.029 and R{sub w}=0.076 for 4279 independent reflections, consists of [Zn(H{sub 2}PO{sub 4}){sub 4}]{sup 2-} clusters held together through strong hydrogen bonds to form pseudo-layers between which the doubly protonated amine molecules are inserted. II is monoclinic, C2, with a=27.57(2)A, b=9.745(5)A, c=14.08(1)A, {beta}=103.72(5){sup o}, V=3675(4)A{sup 3} and Z=4 (R=0.079, R{sub w}=0.268, 2477 independent reflections). The structure of II consists of {sub {infinity}}[Zn{sub 2}(HPO{sub 4}){sub 3}(H{sub 2}PO{sub 4}){sub 2}]{sup 4-} inorganic (2D) layers built up from vertex-sharing [ZnO{sub 4}] and [(H{sub 2}/H)PO{sub 4}] tetrahedra. Organic cations and water molecules ensure the connection between these layers via hydrogen bonds. It is shown that numerous (1D) (2D), e.g., [H{sub 2}(N{sub 2}C{sub 9}H{sub 20})]{sub 2}.[Zn{sub 2}(HPO{sub 4}){sub 3}(H{sub 2}PO{sub 4}){sub 2}].H{sub 2}O, and (3D) (ZnPO) result from the condensation of the [Zn(H{sub 2}PO{sub 4}){sub 4}]{sup 2-} clusters.
