From a Dense Structure to Open Frameworks: The Structural Plethora of Alkali Metal Iron Fluorophosphates.

ABSTRACT: By employing the pyridinium hexafluorophosphate task-specific ionic liquids 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate ([C₄mpyr][PF₆]) and 1-ethylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate ([C₂pyr][PF₆]) as the reaction medium, mineralizer, structure-directing agent, and, in the case of the smaller pyridinium cation, even a structural component, it was possible to obtain five new alkali metal iron phosphates featuring interconnected FeX₆ octahedra and PX₄ (X = F, O, or OH) tetrahedra. NaFe(PO₃F)₂ (1) is a dense 3D structure, RbFe(PO₃F)(PO₂(OH)F)(PO₂(OH)₂) (2) features 1D strands, (C₂pyr)LiFe(PO₃F)₃(PO₂F_2</
