Organically templated inorganic/organic hybrid materials: Synthesis and structures of (C4H12N2)[Fe-4(II)(C2O4)(3)(HPO4)(2)] and (C5H14N2)[Fe-2(III)(C2O4) (HPO4)(3)]

Hydrothermal treatment of FeCl2. 4H(2)O (or FeCl3. 6H(2)O) and piperazine (
or 2-methylpiperazine) with H3PO4 and H2C2O4 in H2O yields two organically
templated compounds. The 3-D frameworks are constructed from Fe-II-O (or Fe
-III-O) polyhedra and two different ligands, phosphate and oxalate, both co
ordinated to the iron atoms. The structure of the Fe-III compound is shown.
