The synthesis and crystal structure of a novel clay-like gallophosphate with sub-unit-cell intergrowths of ethylenediamine: [GaPO4(OH)]– 0·5(H3NCH2CH2NH3)2+
Abstract
The preparation and crystal structure of the title compound in which the Ga is octahedrally and the P is tetrahedrally coordinated is described: the structure is the first fully characterised example of a layered gallophosphate.
