Synthesis and solution properties of sulfate-type hybrid surfactants with a benzene ring

Nine novel sulfate-type hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄CH(OSO₃Na)C_nH_2n+1 (FmPHnOS: m=4, 6, 8; n=3, 5, 7; C₆H₄: p-phenylene), with a benzene ring in their molecules were synthesized. Alkanoyl chlorides were allowed to react with iodobenzene in the presence of aluminum chloride to give the corresponding aromatic ketones. The reaction of the ketones with perfluoroalkyl iodides yielded 1-[4-(perfluoroalkyl)phenyl]-1-alkanones as intermediates. The intermediates were allowed to react with methanol in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of sodium borohydride to yield 1-[4-(perfluoroalkyl)phenyl]-1-alkanols. The desired hybrid surfactants were obtained by the reaction of 1-[4-(perfluoroalkyl)phenyl-1-alkanols with sulfur trioxide/pyridine complex in pyridine and by the subsequent neutralization of the products with sodium hydroxide solution. When compared with the conventional hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄COCH(SO₃Na)C_nH_2n+1 (FmHnS: m=4, 6; n=2, 4, 6; C₆H₄: p-phenylene), the new hybrid surfactants thus synthesized were found to have a comparable ability to lower the surface tension of water and a high hydrophilicity. The cmc of FmPHnOS obeyed Kleven’s rule and their occupied areas per molecule increased with increasing m and n with the values between 0.66 and 1.05 nm². The aggregation number for FmPHnOS micelles ranged from 6 to 45 and the hydrodynamic radius of the micelles was in the range of 1.4-3.1 nm.     

Synthesis of phosphate-type fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid surfactants and their adsorption onto calcium hydroxyapatite

Five novel phosphate-type hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄CH[OPO₂(OC₆H₅)Na]C_nH_2n+1 (FmPHnPPhNa: m = 4, 6, 8; n = 3, 5; C₆H₄ = p-phenylene, C₆H₅ = phenyl), have been synthesized. When compared with sulfate-type hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄CH(OSO₃Na)C_nH_2n+1 (C₆H₄ = p-phenylene), the new hybrid surfactants are found to have comparable abilities to lower surface tension of water. The critical micelle concentrations of FmPHnPPhNa follow Klevens rule and their occupied areas per molecule increase with increasing m and n. Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHAp) pellets modified with FmPH3PPhNa gives high hydrophobic and lipophobic surfaces. The hybrid surfactants are expected as new dental reagents for oral hygiene.

Five novel phosphate-type hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄CH[OPO₂(OC₆H₅)Na]C_nH_2n+1 (FmPHnPPhNa: m = 4, 6, 8; n = 3, 5), have been synthesized. When compared with sulfate-type hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄CH(OSO₃Na)C_nH_2n+1 (C₆H₄ = p-phenylene), the new hybrid surfactants were found to have comparable abilities to lower the surface tension of water. The critical micelle concentrations of FmPHnPPhNa followed Klevens’ rule and their occupied areas per molecule increased with increasing m and n. Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHAp) pellets modified with FmPH3PPhNa gave high hydro and lipophobic surfaces. The hybrid surfactants are expected to be useful as new dental reagents for oral hygiene.     

Synthesis and properties of gemini-type hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon hybrid surfactants

Gemini-type hybrid surfactants with two fluorocarbon chains connected through a hydrocarbon spacer, F(CF₂)_m(CH₂)₂CH(OSO₃Na)(CH₂)_nCH(OSO₃Na)(CH₂)₂(CF₂)_mF [Fm(Hn)FmOS, m = 4, 6; n = 5, 6, 7, 8)], were synthesized and their surface chemical properties were examined with the aim to have highly functional and highly water-soluble fluorinated surfactants when compared with the conventional fluorinated surfactants. Comparisons of the surface chemical properties of the synthesized gemini-type hybrid surfactants with those of monounit-type hybrid surfactants, F(CF₂)_m(CH₂)₂CH(OSO₃Na)(CH₂)_nH [FmEHnOS, m = 4, 6; n = 3, 5)], revealed that gemination causes a remarkable lowering (about 1/100) in cmc value while it produces little changes in Krafft point (below 0 °C) and surface tension at cmc (γ_cmc).     

Synthesis of a novel type of hybrid fluorocarbon ionic surfactants containing polyoxyethlene chain

A novel type of hybrid ionic surfactants containing oxyethylene chain and fluorocarbon chain in one molecule, n-C₈F₁₇SO₃⁻N⁺(C₂H₅)₃(CH₂CH₂O)_nH (n = 4.0, ∼4.1, 8.7, 13.2, 17.8, 22.3), were prepared. The compounds were achieved from the reaction of polyethylene glycol and perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride in the presence of Et₃N. The evaluation of their behavior at the air-water interface has been studied from measurements of surface tension versus variation of concentration, and the properties of the hybrid surfactants are not consistent with the empirical rule observed from the fluorinated nonionic surfactant.     

Synthesis and surface activities of organic solvent-soluble fluorinated surfactants

A variety of fluorinated surfactants soluble in organic solvent were prepared, including C₈F₁₇SO₂NHC_nH_2n+1 (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10), C₈F₁₇SO₂NHR (R = C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅), C₈F₁₇SO₂N(C_nH_2n+1)₂ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) and C₈F₁₇SO₂NH(CH₂)_nNHO₂SC₈F₁₇ (n = 6, 10). Their surface activities in various organic solvents were determined by surface tension measurement. The results showed that these fluorinated surfactants can reduce the surface tension of both polar and non-polar organic solvents. In general, organic solvents with strong polarity or long alkyl chain are beneficial to increase the surface activity of these polar fluorinated surfactants. By comparing fluorinated surfactants with the same fluorocarbon segment and connecting group, C₈F₁₇SO₂N(C_nH_2n+1)₂ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) showed lower surface activity in organic solvents than C₈F₁₇SO₂NHC_nH_2n+1 (n = 2, 4, 6, 8) with an equal carbon number of the solvophilic group. Through surface tension vs. concentration curves given for N-octyl perfluorooctanesulfonamide in various organic solvents, a break point like the critical micelle concentration of ordinary surfactants in aqueous solutions was observed, and the effect of the different types of organic solvents on adsorption and aggregation behavior was also studied.     

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of fluorinated xanthate ligands

Alkali metal, copper, nickel and rhodium complexes of alkylated [S₂COC₈H₁₇] and fluoroalkylated xanthate ligands [S₂COC_mH_2mC_nF_2n+1] (m = 2, n = 4, 6; m = 3, n = 1, 8) have been prepared in high yields and characterised by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and NMR spectroscopies. The structures of [Cu(S₂COC₈H₁₇)(PPh₃)₂], [Cu(S₂COC₃H₆CF₃)(PPh₃)₂], [Ni(S₂COC₃H₆CF₃)₂], [Cp^*RhCl(S₂COC₈H₁₇)] and [Cp^*RhCl(S₂COC₃H₆CF₃)] have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Stable shell structures in hydrogen-bonded complexes

Neutral clusters (NH₃) _n ((CH₃)₃N) _m and (H₂O) _n ((CH₃)₃N) _m , prepared in a pulsed nozzle supersonic expansion, are ionized by multiphoton ionization and investigated with a reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry technique. The observed mixed cluster ions display a maximum intensity atm=2(n+1) whenn ≦ 5 for (NH₃) _n ·((CH₃)₃N) _m H⁺ andm=n+2 whenn ≦ 4 for (H₂O) _n ((CH₃)₃N) _m H⁺ indicating that the cluster ions with these combinations have a stable closed shell structure. However, the pattern begins to break down whenn>5 for ammonia system andn>4 for water system. Thereupon, the most intense peaks are reached with one molecule less than the pattern required, i.e.m=2(n+1)?1 whenn=6 for (NH₃) _n ((CH₃)₃N) _m H⁺ andm=(n+2)?1 whenn=5 for (H₂O) _n ((CH₃)₃N) _m H⁺. These findings strongly suggest the onset of hydrogen-bonded ring structures from chain-like ones at critical cluster sizes. This is also supported by the studies of the metastable decomposition.     

Structures and syntheses of layered and framework amine-bearing uranyl phosphate and uranyl arsenates

Two hydrated uranyl arsenates and a uranyl phosphate were synthesized by hydrothermal methods in the presence of amine structure-directing agents and their structures determined: (N₂C₆H₁₄)[(UO₂)(AsO₄)]₂(H₂O)₃, DabcoUAs, {NH(C₂H₅)₃}[(UO₂)₂(AsO₄)(AsO₃OH)], TriethUAs, and (N₂C₄H₁₂)(UO₂)[(UO₂)(PO₄)]₄(H₂O)₂, PiperUP. Intensity data were collected at room temperature using MoKα X-radiation and a CCD-based area detector. The crystal structures were refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques on the basis of F² to agreement indices (DabcoUAs, TriethUAs, PiperUP) wR₂=5.6%, 8.3%, 7.2% for all data, and R₁=2.9%, 3.3%, 4.0%, calculated for 1777, 5822, 9119 unique observed reflections (|F_o|?4σ_F), respectively. DabcoUAs is monoclinic, space group C2/m, Z=2, a=18.581(1), b=7.1897(4), c=7.1909(4) Å, β=102.886(1)°, V=936.43(9) Å³, D_calc=3.50 g/cm³. TriethUAs is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z=4, a=9.6359(4), b=18.4678(7), c=10.0708(4) Å, β=92.282(1)°, V=1790.7(1) Å³, D_calc=3.41 g/cm³. PiperUP is monoclinic, space group Pn, Z=2, a=9.3278(4), b=15.5529(7), c=9.6474(5) Å, β=93.266(1)°, V=1397.3(1) Å³, D_calc=4.41 g/cm³. The structure of DabcoUAs contains the autunite-type sheet formed by the sharing of vertices between uranyl square bipyramids and arsenate tetrahedra. The triethylenediammonium cations are located in the interlayer along with two H₂O groups and are disordered. Both TriethUAs and PiperUP contain sheets formed of uranyl pentagonal bipyramids and tetrahedra (arsenate and phosphate, respectively) with the uranophane sheet-anion topology. In TriethUAs, triethlyammonium cations are located in the interlayer. In PiperUP, the sheets are connected by a uranyl pentagonal bipyramid that shares corners with phosphate tetrahedra of adjacent sheets, resulting in a framework with piperazinium cations and H₂O groups in the cavities of the structure.     

Utility of reaction intermediate monitoring with photodissociation multi-stage (MS) time-of-flight mass spectrometry for mechanistic and structural studies: Phosphopeptides

In tandem mass spectra of phosphopeptides, intact sequence ions are often missing or appear weakly. Instead, dephosphorylated sequence ions appear prominently. In this work, we used photodissociation (PD) multi-stage (MSⁿ) time-of-flight mass spectrometry that can monitor reaction intermediates with lifetime as short as 100 ns to study the formation of dephosphorylated sequence ions such as y_n-H₃PO₄. y_n-H₃PO₄ was found to be formed mainly by H₃PO₄ loss from y_n. For doubly phosphorylated peptides, y_n seemed to lose H₃PO₄ stepwise and form y_n-H₃PO₄ and y_n-2H₃PO₄. Even when y_n was absent in PD-MS² spectrum, its m/z could be predicted from those of y_n-H₃PO₄ and/or y_n-2H₃PO₄. Complete sequence coverage was possible when the data from PD-MS² and PD-MS³ were combined, demonstrating the utility of transient ion detection by PD-MS³ for structure analysis.     

Synthesis of diferrocenylmethoxyethanol via reaction of diferrocenylmethyl cabonium with glycol and its crystal structure

The new compound diferrocenylmethoxyethanol has been synthesized from the reaction of glycol in the presence of triethylamine with diferrocenylmethyl carbonium which was generated by diferrocenylmethanol treated with BF₃ in CH₂Cl₂ without separation from the reaction mixture. Diferrocenylmethoxyethanol was characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and IR. The structure was also confirmed by a X-ray single crystal study. It was found that diferrocenylmethoxylethanol crystallized in a monoclinic P2₁ space group and a=5.8250(8) Å, b=7.4034(10) Å, c=21.773(3) Å, α=90°, β=95.020(3)°, γ=90°, V=935.4(2) Å³, Z=2, D _c=1.577 mg·m^?3, μ=1.566 mm^?1, F(0 0 0)=460.     

Cyclam as a Structure-Directing Agent in the Crystallization of Aluminophosphate Open Framework Materials from Fluoride Media

Two aluminofluorophosphates have been synthesized using 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) as a structure-directing agent (SDA). The two materials were synthesized hydrothermally and their structures solved by microcrystal diffraction using synchrotron radiation. In both cases, the SDA has been located crystallographically. The first material, [F, Cyclam]-AlPO-CHA, has the molecular formula Al₆P₆O₂₄F₂.C₁₀N₄H₂₆ and has a framework structure related to the mineral chabazite, with the cyclam molecules occluded within chabazite-like cages (space group P-1, a=9.0993(4) Å, b=9.2232(5) Å, c=9.3929(4) Å, α=77.881(2)^o, β=87.205(1)^o, γ=87.777(1)^o, Z=1, wR(F²)=0.1354, R(F)=0.0487). The second material, [F, Cu-Cyclam]-AlPO-SAS, has the molecular formula Al₈P₈O₃₂F₂.[CuC₁₀N₄H₂₄.2H₂O] and has a framework structure closely related to STA-6 (SAS) zeolite structure type, although the usual tetragonal symmetry has been reduced to monoclinic by the presence of the fluoride ions (space group P2₁/n, a=10.3738(4) Å, b=14.8060(5) Å, c=13.4494(5) Å, β=90.275(1)^o, Z=2, wR(F²)=0.1484, R(F)=0.0524). The cyclam is occluded as a copper complex ordered within the cages of the structure.     

Syntheses, structures, and vibrational spectroscopy of the two-dimensional iodates Ln(IO3)3 and Ln(IO3)3(H2O) (LnYb, Lu)

The reaction of Lu³⁺ or Yb³⁺ and H₅IO₆ in aqueous media at 180 °C leads to the formation of Yb(IO₃)₃(H₂O) or Lu(IO₃)₃(H₂O), respectively, while the reaction of Yb metal with H₅IO₆ under similar reaction conditions gives rise to the anhydrous iodate, Yb(IO₃)₃. Under supercritical conditions Lu³⁺ reacts with HIO₃ and KIO₄ to yield the isostructural Lu(IO₃)₃. The structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic data are (MoKα, λ=0.71073 Å): Yb(IO₃)₃, monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a=8.6664(9) Å, b=5.9904(6) Å, c=14.8826(15) Å, β=96.931(2)°, V=766.99(13), Z=4, R(F)=4.23% for 114 parameters with 1880 reflections with I>2σ(I); Lu(IO₃)₃, monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a=8.6410(9), b=5.9961(6), c=14.8782(16) Å, β=97.028(2)°, V=765.08(14), Z=4, R(F)=2.65% for 119 parameters with 1756 reflections with I>2σ(I); Yb(IO₃)₃(H₂O), monoclinic, space group C2/c, a=27.2476(15), b=5.6296(3), c=12.0157(7) Å, β=98.636(1)°, V=1822.2(2), Z=8, R(F)=1.51% for 128 parameters with 2250 reflections with I>2σ(I); Lu(IO₃)₃(H₂O), monoclinic, space group C2/c, a=27.258(4), b=5.6251(7), c=12.0006(16) Å, β=98.704(2)°, V=1818.8(4), Z=8, R(F)=1.98% for 128 parameters with 2242 reflections with I>2σ(I). The f elements in all of the compounds are found in seven-coordinate environments and bridged with monodentate, bidentate, or tridentate iodate anions. Both Lu(IO₃)₃(H₂O) and Yb(IO₃)₃(H₂O) display distinctively different vibrational profiles from their respective anhydrous analogs. Hence, the Raman profile can be used as a complementary diagnostic tool to discern the different structural motifs of the compounds.     

Alkaline earth metal poly(hydrogen fluorides) hexafluoroarsenates(V) and hexafluorophosphate(V): M2(H2F3)(HF2)2(AF6) (M = Ca, A = As; M = Sr, A = As, P)

New compounds of the type M₂(H₂F₃)(HF₂)₂(AF₆) with M = Ca, A = As and M = Sr, A = As, P) were isolated. Ca₂(H₂F₃)(HF₂)₂(AsF₆) was prepared from Ca(AsF₆)₂ with repeated additions of neutral anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (aHF). It crystallizes in a space group P4₃22 with a = 714.67(10) pm, c = 1754.8(3) pm, V = 0.8963(2) nm³ and Z = 4. Sr₂(H₂F₃)(HF₂)₂(AsF₆) was prepared at room temperature by dissolving SrF₂ in aHF acidified with AsF₅ in mole ratio SrF₂:AsF₅ = 2:1. It crystallizes in a space group P4₃22 with a = 746.00(12) pm, c = 1805.1(5) pm, V = 1.0046(4) nm³ and Z = 4. Sr₂(H₂F₃)(HF₂)₂(PF₆) was prepared from Sr(XeF₂)_n(PF₆)₂ in neutral aHF. It crystallizes in a space group P4₁22 with a = 737.0(3) pm, c = 1793.7(14) pm, V = 0.9744(9) nm³ and Z = 4. The compounds M₂(H₂F₃)(HF₂)₂(AF₆) gradually lose HF at room temperature in a dynamic vacuum or during being powdered for recording IR spectra or X-ray powder ray diffraction patterns. All compounds are isotypical with coordination of nine fluorine atoms around a metal center forming a distorted Archimedian antiprism with one face capped. This is the first example of the compounds in which H₂F₃⁻ and HF₂⁻ anions simultaneously bridge metal centers forming close packed three-dimensional network of polymeric compounds with low solubility in aHF. The HF₂⁻ anions are asymmetric with usual F?F distances of 227.3-228.5 pm. Vibrational frequency (ν₁) of HF₂⁻ is close to that in NaHF₂. The anion H₂F₃⁻ exhibits unusually small F?F?F angle of 95.1°-97.6° most probably as a consequence of close packed structure.

The thiolate anion as a nucleophile Part III. Reactions with various fluorobenzenes

The reactions of the fluorobenzenes, C₆F₅H, o-C₆H₂F₄, m-C₆H₂F₄, p-C₆H₂F₄, 1,3,5-C₆F₃H₃, 1,2,4-C₆F₃H₃, o-C₆F₂H₄, m-C₆F₂H₄, p-C₆F₂H₄ and C₆F₅H with thiolate anion nucleophiles RS^? (primarily MeS^?), have been studied in ethylene glycol/pyridine mixtures as a solvent. Multiple replacement of fluorine atoms was observed in the more highly fluorinated compounds, but in all cases two aromatic fluorine atoms were not replaced. Difluorobenzene and fluorobenzene did not react. The product orientations have been deduced from their NMR spectra. The mass spectra of the isomeric products C₆F₂H₃(SMe), C₆F₃H₂(SMe) and C₆F₂H₂(SMe)₂ have been examined.     

Two Mn(II) chloride complexes containing guest molecules

Two phenanthroline-manganese inclusion complexes with [MnCl(H₂O)(phen)₂]⁺ core have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR spectra, thermogravimetric analyses. Uncoordinated 2-mercaptothiazole (tzdtH) and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (bztzH) as guest molecules are included in the complexes with formulas [MnCl(H₂O)(phen)₂]Cl·tzdtH (1) and {[MnCl(H₂O)(phen)₂]Cl}₂·bztzH (2). X-ray structural analyses for complexes revealed that the complex 1 is triclinic, space group P1 with a=9.724(1) Å, b=11.858(1) Å, c=12.644(2) Å; β=89.056(2)°; Z=2, D _c=1.513 Mg m^?3, F(000)=638 and the complex 2 is triclinic, space group P1 with a=9.861(1) Å, b=11.476(1) Å; c=12.908(3) Å; β=84.991(2)°; Z=1, D _c=1.511 Mg m^?3, F(000)=600. Two complexes exhibit high stability up to 650°C. The molar specific heat capacities for the two complexes 1 and 2 can be estimated as being 96.175±0.332 and 72.505±0.364 J mol^?1 K^?1 at 298.15 K by RD496-III microcalorimeter, respectively.     

Observations of magic numbers in gas phase hydrates of alkylammonium ions

Hydration of alkylammonium ions under nonanalytical electrospray ionization conditions has been found to yield cluster ions with more than 20 water molecules associated with the central ion. These cluster ion species are taken to be an approximation of the conditions in liquid water. Many of the alkylammonium cation mass spectra exhibit water cluster numbers that appear to be particularly favorable, i.e., “magic number clusters” (MNC). We have found MNC in hydrates of mono- and tetra-alkyl ammonium ions, NH₃(C _m H_2m+1)⁺(H₂O) _n , m=1–8 and N(C _m H_2m+1) ₄ ⁺ (H₂O) _n , m=2–8. In contrast, NH₂(CH₃) ₂ ⁺ (H₂O) _n , NH(CH₃) ₃ ⁺ (H₂O) _n1 and N(CH₃) ₄ ⁺ (H₂O) _n do not exhibit any MNC. We conjecture that the structures of these magic number clusters correspond to exohedral structures in which the ion is situated on the surface of the water cage in contrast to the widely accepted caged ion structures of H₃O⁺(H₂O) _n and NH ₄ ⁺ (H₂O) _n .     

Inclusion compounds of thiourea and peralkylated ammonium salts. Part II. Hydrogen-bonded host lattices built of thiourea and cyclic dimeric bicarbonate moieties

New inclusion complexes R₄N⁺HCO ₃ ^– ·x(NH₂)₂CS·yH₂O (1, R=C₂H₅,x=1,y=1;2, R=n–C₃H₇,x=2,y=0;3, R=n–C₄H₉,x=3,y=0) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data, MoK radiation:1, space groupPbca,Z=8,a=8.839(2),b=14.930(3),c=24.852(5) Å, andR _F=0.063 for 1419 observed data;2, space groupC222₁,Z=8,a=8.521(3),b=16.941(4),c=32.022(7) Å,R _F=0.054 for 1689 observed data;3, space group ,Z=2,a=9.553(2),b=12.313(3),c=14.228(4) Å, =90.44(2),=103.11(2), =110.12(2)°,R _F=0.044 for 3925 observed data. In the crystal structure of1, the thiourea molecules form hydrogen-bonded zigzag ribbons running parallel to thea axis, and the cyclic dimeric bicarbonate moieties (HCO ₃ ^– )₂ together with water molecules behave likewise. A puckered layer is formed by further lateral hydrogen bonding between these two types of ribbons, and the (C₂H₅)₄N⁺ cations occupy the space between adjacent layers. In the crystal structure of2, the thiourea ribbons are cross-linked orthogonally by (HCO ₃ ^– )₂ unitsvia N–H...O hydrogen bonds to form a composite double layer. Half of the cations are enclosed within and the other half sandwiched between these double layers. In the crystal structure of3, the thiourea molecules form puckered double ribbons running in the [110] direction. The host framework is constructed by cross-linking the double ribbons with bridging bicarbonate dimers, yielding two channel systems aligned parallel to [100] and [111] that accommodate the cationic guests. The structural relationship between the present complexes and the classical thiourea channel adducts is discussed. Supplementary Data relating to this article have been deposited with the British Library as Supplementary Publication No. SUP 82178 (44 pages).     

Synthesis of open-framework iron phosphates, [C5N2H14]2[FeIII2F2(HPO4)4]·2H2O and [C5N2H14][FeIII4(H2O)4F2(PO4)4], with one- and three-dimensional structures

The hydrothermal syntheses and structures of two new open-framework iron phosphates, [C₅N₂H₁₄]₂[Fe^III₂F₂(HPO₄)₄]·2H₂O, I, and [C₅N₂H₁₄][Fe^III₄(H₂O)₄F₂(PO₄)₄], II, are presented. While the structure of I consist of FeO₄F₂ octahedra and HPO₄ terahedra linked to form one-dimensional structure, that of II consist of FeO₄(H₂O)₂, FeO₄(H₂O)F, FeO₄F₂ and PO₄ units connected to give rise to a three-dimensional structure. The structure of I resembles the naturally occurring mineral tancoite while II resembles the iron phosphate, ULM-12, [C₆N₂H₁₄][Fe₄(PO₄)₂F₂(H₂O)₃]. Magnetic susceptibility studies indicate anti-ferromagnetic behavior in both the compounds with T_N=200 and 175 K for I and II, respectively.
