Ionothermal synthesis and characterization of two zinc phosphates from a protic ionic liquid

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) and Their Applications

“…The Morris group at the University of St Andrews, U.K., is currently the main group of researchers working on ionothermal synthesis reactions, and in 2007 Parnham and Morris published a review of the early work carried out on the subject . Recent publications using ionothermal synthesis have reported the formation of aluminum phosphate, , cobalt aluminophosphate, − zirconium phosphates, − propylene diammonium gallium phosphate, zinc phosphate, − zinc and cobalt metal phosphites, and organic–inorganic hybrid materials. − Also reported are a novel cobalt phosphate–borate compound for use as nonlinear optic materials, lanthanide , or nickel metal organic frameworks for the ultrafast formation of ZnO mesocrystals, reduced graphene oxide, and hierarchical porous carbon monoliths …”

Protic Ionic Liquids: Evolving Structure–Property Relationships and Expanding Applications

“…444 Two different crystalline solids were obtained, which had either an open framework or a ladder structure, where the structure depends on the phosphate to zinc ratio. A portion of the triethylenetetramine cations was incorporated into the crystalline structure.…”

Ionothermal synthesis and crystal structures of novel aluminum phosphates with in situ generated templates

“…More recently, using a protic ionic liquid as a solvent and template, we have synthesized two zinc phosphates; both are known framework structures. 19 These efforts encourage us to further extend the possibility of application of PILs for the synthesis of other metal phosphates. Herein, another protic ionic liquid, 3-dimethylaminopropylamine acetate, is used to synthesize aluminophosphates for the first time.…”
