Abstract
The first metal phosphate containing a chiral amine, [(1R,2R)-C(6)H(10)(NH(3))(2)][Ga(OH)(HPO(4))(2)].H(2)O, has been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1) with a = 8.7202(2) Å, b = 7.1276(2) Å, c = 11.1411(4) Å, beta = 96.129(1) degrees, and Z = 2. The structure consists of infinite chains of trans-corner-sharing GaO(5)(OH) octahedra with the adjacent octahedra being bridged by HPO(4) groups, which are H-bonded with amine groups of the organic cations and the lattice water. The Ga-O bond lengths along the backbone of the chain are alternately short and long. For comparison, the gallophosphate-containing racemic mix is also synthesized. [trans-1,2-C(6)H(10)(NH(3))(2)][Ga(OH)(HPO(4))(2)].H(2)O crystallizes in the centrosymmetric, orthorhombic space group Pbcm with a = 8.6993(2) Å, b = 21.8612(1) Å, c = 7.1557(2) Å, V = 1360.85(5) Å(3), and Z = 4.
