A borophosphate hydrate with general composition {(NH₄)_xCo_((3–x)/2)}(H₂O)₂[BP₂O₈] · (1 – x) H₂O (x ≈ 0.5) was prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions (T = 170 °C). The crystal structure of the purple title compound was refined in space group P6₅ (no. 170) as a merohedric twin (a = 949.14 pm, c = 1558.25 pm, R₁ = 0.037, wR₂ = 0.092 for all data). According to preliminary X‐ray investigations, vis‐spectra, and magnetic susceptibility measurements, a second blue coloured variant exhibits a superstructure of the title compound with a change in coordination numbers around cobalt from six and five to six and four. Both phases show reversible de‐/rehydration properties.     

(C5H14N2)[Zn3(HPO4)4], a New 3D Open‐framework Zincophosphate Synthesized by Hydrothermal Reversible Transformation of (C5H14N2)[Zn2(HPO4)3]·H2O

In the system ZnO/H₃PO₄/H₂O/1,4‐diazacycloheptane (C₅H₁₂N₂), a new zincophosphate (ZnPO), (C₅H₁₄N₂)[Zn₃(HPO₄)₄] ( I ), was prepared by hydrothermal transformation (180 °C) of the known ZnPO hydrate (C₅H₁₄N₂)[Zn₂(HPO₄)₃]·H₂O ( II ). The thermally‐induced transformation is reversible; upon keeping the heterogeneous mixture of I and mother liquor at 80 °C recrystallization of II was observed. Single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography revealed that I possesses a unique three‐dimensional (3D) open‐framework structure built from corner‐linked ZnO₄ and HPO₄ tetrahedra. The (3,4)‐connected framework of I differs considerably from the 3D open‐framework ZnPO structure of II .

Employing achiral organic amines (2-methylbenzimidazole and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) as the structure-directing agent and ligand, two chiral zincophosphites, [Zn(C(8)H(8)N(2))(HPO(3))] 1 and (C(6)H(13)N(2))[Zn(3)(C(6)H(12)N(2))(HPO(3))(3)(H(2)PO(3))] 2, have been hydro(solvo)-thermally synthesized, crystallizing in the chiral space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). Single-crystal structural analysis reveals that compound 1 consists of alternating ZnO(3)N and HPO(3) units exhibiting a neutral one-dimensional chiral chain. Interestingly, the organic ligands interact with the inorganic chain via hydrogen-bonds in hydrogen-bonded helix fashion. Compound 2, a three-dimensional chiral open framework with 16-MR channels, is formed by the distorted {Zn(3)P(4)} secondary building unit (SBU).

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Transition Metal Trimetaphosphimates Zn₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O and Co₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O The transition metal trimetaphosphimates Zn₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O and Co₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O were obtained by the reaction of an aqueous solution of Na₃(PO₂NH)₃ · 4 H₂O with the respective metal nitrate or halide (molar ratio 1 : 4). The structure of Zn₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O was solved by single crystal X‐ray methods. The structure of isotypic Co₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O was refined from X‐ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method (Zn₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O ( 1 ): P 1, a = 743.7(2), b = 955.9(2), c = 980.1(2) pm, α = 102.70(3), β = 90.46(3), and γ = 100.12(3)°, Z = 1; Co₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O ( 2 ): P 1, a = 746.05(1), b = 957.06(2), c = 988.51(2) pm, α = 102.162(1), β = 90.044(1), and γ = 99.258(1)°, Z = 1). In 1 and 2 the P₃N₃ rings of the trimetaphosphimate ions attain a conformation which can be described as a combination of an ideal boat and an ideal twist conformation. The trimetaphosphimate ions act as bridging ligands. Thus chains of alternating M²⁺ and (PO₂NH)₃^3– ions are formed which are interconnected by additional M²⁺ ions forming electro‐neutral double chains. In the solid these double chains are connected by hydrogen bonds.

Distorted CoO₆‐octahedra and ZnO₅‐square‐pyramids, respectively, share common oxygen‐corners with BO₄‐, PO₄‐ and (HO)PO₃‐tetrahedra. The tetrahedral groups are linked via common corners to form infinite loop‐branched borophosphate chains [B₂P₃O₁₂(OH)^4–]. The open framework of M^II‐coordination polyhedra and tetrahedral borophosphate chains contains a three‐dimensional system of interconnected structural channels running along [100], [011] and [011], respectively, which are occupied by di‐protonated piperazinium ions.

In 2 the Pb^II atoms are coordinated either by six bridging I^– ligands in the two-dimensional [Pb₅I₁₄]^4– network or by six DMF ligands in the [Pb(dmf)₆]²⁺ cations. In contrast, (Me₃N–C₂H₄–NMe₃)₂[Pb₂I₇]I ( 3 ) contains non-coordinating I^– anions between the iodoplumbate layers. The iodoplumbate anions in 2 and 3 consist of face and corner sharing PbI₆ octahedra, whereas in 1 PbI₆ and PbI₅(dmf) octahedra share common edges to form a one-dimensional polymeric section of the PbI₂ structure.

Orthotelluric Acid as Substitute for Crystal‐Water: Syntheses and Crystal Structure of the Co‐crystallate [Te(OH)6 · 2 Adenine · 4 H2O] and the Disodium Ditellurate(VI) Aggregate {[Te2O2(OH)6(ONa)2]2[NaOH · 12.5 H2O]}

Supramolecular aspects on Te(OH)₆ as substitute for crystal‐water in adenine hydrate complexes and the first disodium ditellurate(VI) are reported. The co‐crystallate [Te(OH)₆ · 2 adenine · 4 H₂O] ( 1 ) has been prepared in 41% yield from the 1 : 1 mixing of Te(OH)₆ with the nitrogenous base adenine. The adduct of infinite stacks of adenine molecules, Te(OH)₆ and water not only proves that Te(OH)₆ mimicks the role of water in the related hydrate adenine · 3 H₂O but also shows that the inclusion of Te(OH)₆ raises the number of HO–H and N–HO contacts and therefore increases the distance between the adenine rings to 3.31 Å in 1 in comparison to that in adenine trihydrate (3.22 Å). Additionally, the disodium ditellurate(VI) aggregate {[Te₂(O)₂(OH)₆(ONa)₂]₂ [NaOH · 12.5 H₂O]} ( 2 ) resulted from the reaction of 1 with 2 molar equivalents of aqueous NaOH. Dinuclear 2 represents the first X‐ray diffraction characterized example of a sodium tellurate(VI) constructed from [Te₂O₄(OH)₆]^2– dianions.     

An Azelaato‐bridged Dinuclear Copper(II) Complex, [Cu2(phen)2(C9H14O4)2] · 6 H2O (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline)

The title compound [Cu₂(phen)₂(C₉H₁₄O₄)₂] · 6 H₂O was prepared by the reaction of CuCl₂ · 2 H₂O, 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), azelaic acid and Na₂CO₃ in a CH₃OH/H₂O solution. The crystal structure (monoclinic, C2/c (no. 15), a = 22.346(3), b = 11.862(1), c = 17.989(3) Å, β = 91.71(1)°, Z = 4, R = 0.0473, wR² = 0.1344 for 4279 observed reflections) consists of centrosymmetric dinuclear [Cu₂(phen)₂(C₉H₁₄O₄)₂] complexes and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. The Cu atom is square‐planar coordinated by the two N atoms of the chelating phen ligand and two O atoms of different bidentate bridging azelaate groups with d(Cu–N) = 2.053, 2.122(2) Å and d(Cu–O) = 1.948(2), 2.031(2) Å. Two azelaate anions bridge two common Cu atoms via the terminal O atoms (d(C–O) = 1.29(2) Å; d(C–C) = 1.550(4)–1.583(4) Å). Phen ligands of adjacent complexes cover each other at distances of about 3.62 Å, indicating π‐π stacking interaction, by which the complexes are linked to 1 D bands.
