abstract

  • A novel tin(II) phenylbis(phosphonate) compound has been synthesized hydrothermally and its structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure is monoclinic, space group P21/c (no. 14), a=4.8094(4), b=16.2871(13), c=6.9107(6); =106.292(6), V=519.59(7)3, Z=2. The three-dimensional structure consists of 3-coordinated tin and 4-coordinated phosphorus double layers separated (pillared) by phenyl rings. These phenyl rings are placed 4.8 apart along the a-axis in the structure resulting in lower surface area (14 m2/g). The porosity has been increased by replacing phenyl groups by methyl groups (31 m2/g). 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
