The crystal structure of (C₂H₉N₂)₂[Zn₃(HPO₃)₄], a three-dimensional zincophosphite framework containing 16-membered rings templated by the unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazinium cation.

ABSTRACT: The solution-mediated synthesis and crystal structure of 1,1-di-methyl-hydrazinium tetra-phoshonoatotrizincate, (C₂H₉N₂)₂[Zn₃(HPO₃)₄], are described. The anionic [Zn₃(HPO₃)₄]^2- framework is built up from alternating ZnO₄ tetra-hedra and HPO₃ pseudo-pyramids to generate a three-dimensional 4,3-net encapsulating the C₂H₉N₂⁺ cations. The organic cations, which are protonated at their central N atoms, occupy pores delineated by large 16-membered polyhedral rings and inter-act with the framework by way of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and possible C-H⋯O inter-actions. One of the zinc ions lies on a crystallographic twof
