Hydrothermal Synthesis and Properties of Open‐Framework Mixed‐valence Iron Phosphates Fe2lll Fell1.5(PO4)3 with Three‐dimensional Structure

The open‐framework iron phosphate Fe₂^lllFe_1.5^ll,(PO₄)₃ was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, EPR, XPS and single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The title compound crystallized in the triclinic, space group P1 with a=0.64724(4) nm, b=0.79651(6) nm, c=0.94229(5) nm, a= 104.447(2)°. β= 108.919(4)°. y= 101.741(4)°, V=0.42302(5) nm³, Z= 1 and R_I (wR₂)=0.0307 (0.0793). Crystal data were collected on a Rigaku R‐AXIS RAPID IP diffractometer with Mo Ka (γ=0.071073 nm) at 293(2) K in the range of 2.43°<Õ <27.46°. The structure of 1 consists of 19 non‐hydrogen atoms including three and a half crystallographically independent Fe and three P atoms. Fe(1) connects its symmetrical Fe(1A) through bridging oxygen forming a dimer and the dimers are connected by Fe(4) forming an infinite staircase‐like chain. Fe(2) and Fe(3) connect the infinite chains into a layer with bridging oxygen. Layers are interconnected via Fe(4) forming the six‐membered and eight‐membered channel systems.
