Structure of aluminium methylphosphonate, AIMepO-β, with unidimensional channels formed from ladder-like organic–inorganic polymer chains

Abstract

The crystal structure of a microporous aluminium methylphosphonate AIMepO-β is described; the skeleton built up of fused four-ring chain forms unidimensional channels of approximately 5.8 Å cross-section fringed with methyl groups running parallel to the c-axis.
