Synthesis and structure determination of a piperidinium Zn(HPO4)ClC5H12N

This article deals with the synthesis and X-ray structure determination of a new bidimentional zincophosphate (ZnPO) with formula Zn(HPO4)ClC5H12N. This phase crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (No. 61) with parameters: a = 8.767(2) Å; b = 24.678(7) Å; c = 9.322(2) Å; V = 2016.8(1) Å3; Z = 8. Structure of this compound is determined: R = 0.026; RW = 0.033 and characterized with IR, TGA/DSC, and NMR. The structure consists of anionic parallel [Zn(HPO4)Cl]− sheets alternating with thick slabs of organic molecules (C5H12N)+. The organic molecules are linked to the anionic sheets through hydrogen bonds.
