“…Regarding divalent metals, the PMIDA ligand was used for the preparation of solid phosphonates with copper, 40,47 cobalt, 34,35,41,42,45,46,48 zinc, 31,38,44 lead, 32 manganese, 33,42,43,46,47 cadmium, 46 nickel, 35,37 and iron(II). 36 To the best of our knowledge, only three alkaline-earth metal PMIDA coordination polymers have been reported up to now, 49,50 although it has been shown that these metalsdue to their wide coordination possibilitiesform structurally interesting phosphonates ranging from one-dimensional 11 to layered 51,52 to three-dimensional 53 compounds.…”
