Abstract

Cadmium benzylphosphonate Cd(O₃PBn)·H₂O (1) and its fluorinated derivates Cd(O₃PBn-3F)·H₂O (2), Cd(O₃PBn-4F)·H₂O (3), and Cd(O₃PBn-F5)·H₂O (4) were synthesized mechanochemically. The crystal structures of the compounds were determined based on powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data. The influence of the ligand substitution on the crystal structure of the metal phosphonate was determined. The hydrophobicity as a function of degree of fluorination was investigated using dynamic vapor sorption.
