ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Open-Framework Zinc Phosphate with 16-Ring Channels.

Microporous (NH4) [Zn5(PO4)3(HPO4)2 (HAPIM)2]·(H2O) is solvothermally prepared in the presence of 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole (APIM) as structure-directing agent using ZnO, H3PO4, APIM, MeOH, and H2O in the molar ratio 2:3.1:2:86.5:139 (autoclave, 160 °C, 6 d, 46% yield). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
