Abstract
Chemical preparation, crystal structure, thermal analysis, IR absorption, and NMR studies are given for a new hybrid organic-inorganic compound, the (2,6-dimethyanilinium) dihydrogenophosphate monohydrate [C 8 H 12 N]H 2 PO 4 ·H 2 O. This compound crystallizes in a triclinic P=1 unit-cell, with a = 7.392(5) Å, b = 8.323(3) Å, c = 10.306(5) Å, α = 95.769 (4)°, β = 102.642 (3)°, γ = 113.498(2)°, V = 554.88(5) Å 3 , and Z = 2. Its crystal structure is determined and refined to R = 0.040 with 1942 independent reflections. The atomic arrangement can be described by inorganic layers built by H 2 PO 4 − anions, and H 2 O molecules with which the organic molecules perform different interactions to form a stable 3D network. Solid state 31 P and 13 C CP-MAS-NMR spectroscopies are in agreement with the X-ray structure.
