A new pillared layered phosphonate, cadmium 2-aminoethylphosphonate, Cd(O3PC2H4NH2) (1), has beensynthesized, and its structure was solved ab initio from X-ray powder diffraction data and refined by Rietveldmethods. Compound 1 is orthorhombic: space group Pna21, a = 15.4643(2) Å, b = 5.16512(7) Å, c = 6.27650(8) Å, and Z = 4. Its layer arrangement is similar to that in Cd(O3PR)·H2O, except that the water moleculecoordinated to cadmium in Cd(O3PR)·H2O is replaced by the nitrogen atom from the amino ends of the ethylchains borne by phosphorus of the upper and lower layers. The strong similarity of the IR, 31P, and 113Cd NMRdata for Cd(O3PC2H4NH2) and Cd(O3PCH3)·n-NH2C4H9 clearly shows the topotactic character of the intercalationof n-alkylamines in the dehydrated form of Cd(O3PR)·H2O to yield Cd(O3PR)·n-NH2R'.
