The pure hydrated metalloborophosphate with microporous structure, Na-2[ZnB3P2O11(OH)]center dot 0.67H(2)O, has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, DTA-TG techniques and chemical analysis. The molar enthalpies of solution of Na-2[ZnB3P2O11(OH)]center dot 0.67H(2)O (s) in 1 mol . dm (3) HCl (aq), and of NaH2PO4 center dot 2H(2)O (s) in (HCl + H3BO3 + ZnO) (aq) were measured, respectively. With the incorporation of the previously determined enthalpies of solution of H3BO3 (s) in 1 mol . dm (3) HCl (aq), and of ZnO (s) in (HCl + H3BO3) (aq), together with the use of the standard molar enthalpies of formation for NaH2PO4 center dot 2H(2)O (s), ZnO (s), H3BO3 (s) and H2O (1), the standard molar enthalpy of formation of -(5200.3 +/- 2.5) kJ . mol(-1) for Na-2[ZnB3P2O11(OH)]center dot 0.67H(2)O at T = 298.15 K was obtained on the basis of the appropriate thermochemical cycle.
