title: Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of two organically templated cadmium borophosphates with novel structures.
abstract: Two organically templated cadmium borophosphates, (C(4)H(16)N(3))[CdClB(2)P(3)O(12)(OH)] (1) and (C(2)H(10)N(2))[CdB(2)P(3)O(12)(OH)] (2), were synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of structure-directing amines. Compound 1 has a complex layered structure (orthorhombic, Pbca (No. 61); a = 9.470(2), b = 12.307(3), c = 27.311(6) A; V = 3183 (1) A(3); Z = 8) with a 9MR channel system, while compound 2 (orthorhombic, Pbca (No. 61); a = 9.286(3), b = 12.459(3), c = 21.626(6) A; V = 2502(1) A(3); Z = 8) presents a 3-dimensional open framework structure of different types of intersecting channels. It is worth noting that both the Cl(-) anions and the organic templates play important and interesting roles in the formation of the structures.
