Abstract

Chain, ladder, layer, and three-dimensional metal phosphates were obtained by the reaction of amine phosphates with metal ions under mild hydrothermal conditions. The role of amine phosphates as intermediates in hydrothermal syntheses was corroborated by in situ NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. The picture shows a simple corner-shared linear chain structure formed in the reaction of piperazine phosphate with ZnII ions.
