New framework connectivity patterns in templated networks: the creatinine zinc phosphites C4N3OH7.ZnHPO3, C4N3OH7.Zn(H2O)HPO3, and (C4N3OH7)2.ZnHPO3.H2O.
The syntheses, crystal structures, and properties of C(4)N(3)OH(7).ZnHPO(3), C(4)N(3)OH(7).Zn(H(2)O)HPO(3), and (C(4)N(3)OH(7))(2).ZnHPO(3).H(2)O are reported. These new creatinine zinc phosphites are built up from networks of vertex-sharing HPO(3) pseudopyramids and various types of ZnO(2)N(2), ZnO(3)N, and ZnO(2)N(H(2)O) tetrahedra, resulting in extended structures of different dimensionalities (as sheets, clusters, and chains, respectively). They demonstrate the structural effect of incorporating "terminal" (nonnetworking) Zn-N and Zn-OH(2) moieties into zinc centers. Crystal data: C(4)N(3)OH(7).ZnHPO(3), triclinic, P1 (No. 2), a = 8.9351(4) A, b = 9.5011(4) A, c = 9.9806(4) A, alpha = 87.451(1) degrees, beta = 85.686(1) degrees, gamma = 89.551(1) degrees, Z = 4; C(4)N(3)OH(7).Zn(H(2)O)HPO(3), monoclinic, P2(1)/c (No. 14), a = 10.1198(7) A, b = 7.2996(5) A, c = 13.7421(9) A, beta = 107.522(1) degrees, Z = 4; (C(4)N(3)OH(7))(2).ZnHPO(3).H(2)O, triclinic, P1 (No. 2), a = 10.7289(6) A, b = 10.9051(6)A, c = 13.9881(8) A, alpha = 89.508(1) degrees, beta = 74.995(1) degrees, gamma = 74.932(1) degrees, Z = 4.
