Title: A novel 3D framework indium phosphite-oxalate based on a pcu-type topology

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry

A new inorganic–organic hybrid indium phosphite-oxalate, formulated as H[In{sub 5}(HPO{sub 3}){sub 6}(H{sub 2}PO{sub 3}){sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4}){sub 2}]·(C{sub 4}N{sub 2}H{sub 11}){sub 2}·H{sub 2}O 1 has been hydrothermally synthesized in the presence of piperazine acting as a structure directing agent (SDA). The single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that compound 1 shows three-dimensional open-framework with intersecting 12-ring channels along the [010] and [001] directions, which is constructed from strictly alternating double 6-ring units (D6Rs), [C{sub 2}O{sub 4}]{sup 2−} groups and [H{sub 2}PO{sub 3}]{sup −} pseudo-pyramids. It is noted that the classical D6R SBU is firstly reported in main metal phosphite/phosphite-oxalate. By regarding D6R as the 6-connected nodes, the inorganic–organic hybrid framework is based on a pcu-type topology. The as-synthesized product was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ICP-AES and elemental analyses. - Graphical abstract: A 3D open-framework indium phosphite-oxalate has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. A classical SBU, D6R, is present in the structure. By regarding D6R as the 6-connected nodes, the inorganic–organic hybrid framework is based on a pcu-type topology. - Highlights: • A new indium phosphite-oxalate based on a pcu-type topology has been synthesized. • A classical SBU, D6R, is present in the structure. • The classical SBU is firstly reported in main metal phosphite/phosphite-oxalate.
