Organo-template control of inorganic structures: a low-symmetry two-dimensional sheet aluminophosphate3[NH3CHMeCH2NH3][Al6P8O32]·H2O
Abstract
A new low-symmetry two-dimensional AIPO network is found for [Al3P4O16]3– with [NH3CHMeCH2NH3]2+ as the templating cation; calculations show that all existing AIPO two-dimensional nets are of comparable energy and that severl hypothetical nets are energetically feasible.
