Synthesis and structure determination from powder data of the first organically templated tin(IV) phosphate: MIL-76 or Sn3(IV)O2(H2O)(HPO4)4 x [H2N-C2H4-NH2]2.5 x [H2O]2.
The first organically templated tin(IV) phosphate has been isolated and its structure solved from powder X-ray diffraction data; it exhibits a one-dimensional inorganic network built up from chains of trimers of tin(IV) octahedra on which phosphate tetrahedral groups are grafted interacting with water molecules and organic moieties.
