Abstract:
An organic-inorganic hybrid compound, poly[bis[(pyridine-4-carboxylato)zinc(II)]-di-mu3-phosphato], [Zn2(C6H5NO2)2(HPO4)2], has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. The crystal structure consists of two types of two-dimensional layers of zinc hydrogenphosphate templated by protonated isonicotinate (ina) (or 4-pyridinecarboxylic acid), which contain two crystallographically independent centrosymmetric [Zn2(ina)2(HPO4)2] dimers as basic building units. The layers are interconnected via hydrogen-bonding and heterocyclic ring interactions.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
