3 (
II) (dien = diethylenetriamine), were
solvothermally synthesized in the presence of a mixture of organic amines. Both two structures are built by the alternate linkages between ZnO
4 and (H)PO
4 tetrahedral moieties producing two intimately related (3,4)-connected framework structures with the 16-ring large channels. The successful
synthesis of the two compounds illustrates that a specific “secondary” organic additive governs the resulting open-framework structures besides a “primary” organic amine plays a structure-directing role. Crystal data: triclinic,
