Abstract
Seven new ethylenediphosphonates with the formula [A{HO3P(CH2)2PO3H2}] [A = Li (1), Na (2), K (3), Rb (4), Cs (5), Tl (6), and NH4 (7)], have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and thermal studies. They have four types of three-dimensional structures, with variations in the coordination of the A+ ions. All of them are solid Bronsted acids that undergo room-temperature, acid–base intercalation reactions with ammonia. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
