Hydrothermal synthesis and structure of a three-dimensional open-framework cobalt molybdenum(VI) phosphate containing ethylenediammonium ions: (C2H9N2)6[Co3Mo4P4O28]
Abstract
The first microporous cobalt molybdenum(VI) phosphate, crystallised under hydrothermal conditions, is constructed from unique CoMo2P tetrahedral units connected by CoO4 tetrahedra and by sharing corners; the framework contains interlocking cavity units and unusual 7-ring intersecting channels that are filled with charge-compensating ethylenediammonium ions.
