Synthesis and Characterization of an Open-Framework Antimony(III) Phosphate: [H3N(CH2)2NH3]1.5[(SbO)2(SbF)2(PO4)3]

Abstract

[SbIIIO3FE], [SbIIIO5E], [SbIIIO4FE], and [PVO4] polyhedra (E=electron lone pair) combine to form eight- and twelve-ring channels (see picture) in the novel SbIII phosphate [H3N(CH2)2NH3]1.5[(SbO)2(SbF)2(PO4)3]. The Sb−F bonds point into both types of channels, and diprotonated ethylenediamine (omitted), which also resides in the channels, provides for charge compensation.
