A systematic look at structural diversity of metal phosphonates

Three novel metal-phosphonate frameworks, namely, rod-shaped one-dimensional [{Cu(terpy)}(H6-MTPPA)(H2O)]⋅2H2O, three-dimensional [{Cu5(2,2'-bpy)2}(H2-MTPPA)(H4-MTPPA)] and one-dimensional [{Cu2(phen)2)}(H4-MTPPA)]⋅4H2O, constructed from tetrahedral shaped methane-p-tetraphenylphosphonic acid (MTPPA) and N-ancillary organoimine ligands were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Magnetic analysis of [{Cu5(2,2'-bpy)2)}(H2-MTPPA)(H4-MTPPA)] exhibited paramagnetic behavior. The authors declare no conflict of interest.
