Z = 4. The three-dimensional framework is built up from strictly alternating BeO
4 tetrahedra and [HPO
32-]pseudopyramid by sharing vertices. A new type of network containing 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-membered rings
makes upthe inorganic framework. The 1,3-diammonium propane template molecules are located in 8-membered ring windows.The compound was characterized by IR spectroscopy, inductively coupled plas
ma (ICP), and differential ther
maland thermogravimetric analyses.
