Cooperative Structure Direction in the Synthesis of Microporous Materials: Preparation and Crystal Structure of TREN-GaPO

Crystalline oxyfluorinated open-framework compounds: Silicates, metal phosphates, metal fluorides and metal-organic frameworks (MOF)

“…His work was focused on the synthesis of aluminum or gallium-based open-framework solids and this was then investigated by other groups (Cheetham [38,39], Santa Barbara, USA; Morris [40][41][42], St. Andrews, UK; Nenoff [43][44][45], Albuquerque, USA; Férey [46,47], Versailles, France).…”

New open-framework phosphate and phosphite compounds of gallium

“…The first use of fluoride ions in the hydrothermal reaction system by Kessler in 1986 [15] paved the way for its use in the preparation of many fluorinated phases. Thus, fluorinated GaPO frameworks with 12- [16], 14-[17], 16-[18], 18-[19], and 20-membered [20,21] rings have been synthesized and characterized.…”

A Novel Open-Framework Cerium Phosphate Fluoride: (NH4)[CeIVF2(PO4)]

“…In many cases, #uoride ions are incorporated into the framework, for example, ZrPOF-n (15, 16), ULM-n (17,18), and TREN-GaPO (19). However, cerium phosphate #uorides are only found in some known minerals, and almost all of them are mixed with other cations.…”
