S. Drumel et al., BIMETALLIC 2-CARBOXYETHYLPHOSPHONATES - NOVEL AND ORIGINAL CLASS OF PILLARED LAYERED STRUCTURES, New journal of chemistry, 19(3), 1995, pp. 239-242
An original pillared layered phosphonate, with for the first time, two
different metal atoms (Zn(II) and Mn(II)) combined within the layers
in specific geometry, was assembled from the molecular precursors in s
olution. The zinc atoms are present in a tetrahedral environment, wher
eas the manganese atoms occupy octahedral sites.
