A new 3D-layered inorganic-organic hybrid [D/L-C{sub 6}H{sub 13}O{sub 2}N-H]{sub 3}[(PO{sub 4})W{sub 12}O{sub 36}].4.5H{sub 2}O (1), as racemic material in the solid phase, has been synthesized and fully characterized by elemental microanalysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and infrared, Raman, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopes. The most unique structural feature of 1 is its three-dimensional inorganic infinite tunnel-like framework that results in weak van der Waals interactions along the a-axis. A weak interlayer interaction between the titled layers provides a desirable condition to explore its potential as a host in a host-guest complex. The racemization has been observed in the crystal structure with the centric space group (P2{sub 1}/c). The latter consists of {alpha}-[(PO{sub 4})W{sub 12}O{sub 36}]{sup 3-}and [D/L-C{sub 6}H{sub 13}O{sub 2}N-H]{sup +} moieties with water molecules linked together by a complex network of hydrogen bond interactions.
