Organo-template control of inorganic structures: A low-symmetry two-dimensional sheet aluminophosphate3[NH(3)CHMeCH(2)NH(3)][Al6P8O32]center dot H2O

Abstract

A new low-symmetry two-dimensional AlPO network is found for [Al3P4O16](3-) With [NH(3)CHMeCH(2)NH(3)](2+) as the templating cation; calculations show that all existing AlPO two-dimensional nets are of comparable energy and that several hypothetical nets are energetically feasible
