GaFPO(3)(C(6)H(5)): a new fluorinated gallium phenylphosphonate with a layered network.
Crystals of gallium fluorophenylphosphonate were synthesized hydrothermally at 453 K under autogenous pressure. The solid crystallizes in the monoclinic system and its structure is built up by the connection of zigzag chains of edge-sharing GaO(4)F(2) octahedra to phenylphosphonate groups. This results in the formation of a layered structure, in which the phenyl groups point upward and downward from the inorganic sheet. The Ga atoms occupy the special positions 4a (inversion center) and 4e (twofold axis).
