Abstract:
A new layered zinc phosphite, H(2)tmdp x Zn(3)(HPO(3))(4) (tmdp = 4,4'-trimethylenedipiperidine), was prepared in a flux of phosphorous acid without the addition of water as a solvent. The compound could be transformed into a new three-dimensional open-framework zinc phosphite, Zn(2)(H(2)O)(4)(HPO(3))(2) x H(2)O, with intersecting 16- and 12-ring channels at room temperature.

Metallic Solids
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability. Many...

Ionic Crystal Structures
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
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...
