Aquanitrilotris(methylenephosphonato)dirubidium [Rb2(H2O){μ12-NH(CH2PO3H)3}]: Synthesis and structure

Resumo

Aquanitrilotris(methylenephosphonato)dirubidium is a 3D coordination polymer with a layer structure. Space group \(P\bar 1\), Z = 2; a = 8.0380(3) Å, b = 9.0522(4) Å, and c = 10.7837(4) Å; α = 113.252(4)°, β = 105.391(3)°, and γ = 96.182(3)°. Rb atoms populate two symmetrically inequivalent positions with c.n. = 8 and 10; significant difference in O–Rb–O angles in the coordination polyhedra is indicative of the ionic type of Rb–O bonds. In the crystal packing, molecules are connected by not only coordination bonds but hydrogen bonds as well.
