Abstract
A new layered inorganic–organic hybrid gallium phosphate, Ga 2(phen)(HPO 4) 3 (phen=1,10-phenanthroline), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR, elemental analysis, ICP, power X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P-1 (No. 2), a=7.7730(6) Å, b=11.7968(10) Å, c=12.1458(9) Å, α=114.089(2)°, β=102.310(2)°, γ=102.905(2)°, V=931.28(13) Å 3, Z=2. The structure is built from strictly alternating GaO 4N 2 octahedra, GaO 4 tetrahedra and HPO 4 tetrahedra through their vertices, forming a neutral layered architecture grafted with phen ligands. The adjacent sheets are stacked in an AAAA sequence along [0 0 1] direction and held together by strong π–π interactions.
