Synthesis and X-ray structural characterization of a novel oxyfluorinated microporous gallium phosphate with encapsulated 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane as the template: Ga3(PO4)(HPO4)2F3(OH)·C6N2H14·0.5 H2O

Abstract

A gallophosphate with an open framework is synthesized; its structure consists of interconnecting Ga₂O₇ΦF₂(Φ= O or OH) bioctahedra and PO₄ tetrahedra, building up a thre-dimensional network around a novel (3¹²6⁴8⁸) cage type, enclosing two 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane organic templates and leading to eight-membered channels along [001], six- and eight-rings along [101] and [010], the water molecule being located in the latter.
