Abstract
A gallophosphate with an open framework is synthesized; its structure consists of interconnecting Ga2O7ΦF2(Φ= O or OH) bioctahedra and PO4 tetrahedra, building up a thre-dimensional network around a novel (3126488) cage type, enclosing two 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane organic templates and leading to eight-membered channels along [001], six- and eight-rings along [101] and [010], the water molecule being located in the latter.
