“…31 Monoalkylphosphates and metal-based monoalkylphosphates have been used as self-assembled monolayers, thin films and coatings, [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] catalysts 44 and single-source precursors for ceramic phosphates. 17 The synthesis and characterization of metal long alkyl chain phosphate complexes have been reported by Tanaka et al 45,46 Calcium complexes of hexyl, octyl, and decyl phosphates having a multilayer structure with alternating bimolecular layers of alkyl phosphates and a DCPD-like (dicalcium phosphate dihydrate) phase have been prepared and characterized. 47 In this context, it is possible to obtain long alkyl chain containing metal phosphates as single crystals when suitable coligands are used, which can exhibit thermal transitions.…”
