Novel Organically Templated Mixed-Valent Titanium Phosphates with Open Framework Structures: Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization

Abstract

We have hydrothermally synthesized the first reduced titanium phosphates with openframework structures. The synthetic approach is quite unusual since elemental titanium is used.The full structural, thermal, magnetic, and spectroscopic characterization of a 1,3-diaminopropanetemplated compound, TiIIITiIV(PO 4 )(HPO 4 ) 2 (H 2 0) 2 z(NH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 )0. 5 , is presented.
