, Z = 2, a 10.118(3) Angstrom, b = 15.691(4) Angstrom, c 18.117(3) Angstrom, alpha = 72.91(2)degrees, beta = 85.18(2)degrees, gamma = 79.49(2)degrees) is built of polymeric one-dimensional chain units, hydrogen-bonded into anionic layers that are charge-compensated by interlamellar cycloheptylammonium cations. UT-7 is isostructural to our previously discovered UT-3 chain structure, isolated in the analogous cyclopentylamine system. UT-8 ([Al3P4O16](3-).[C4H7NH3+](2)[C5H10NH2+], monoclinic space group P2(1), Z = 2, a = 8.993(4) Angstrom, b = 14.884(8) Angstrom, c = 9.799(9) Angstrom, beta = 103.52(3)degrees) is a two-dimensional net isostructural to several previously reported [Al3P4O16](3-) layers. The interlayer region of UT-8 is occupied by two different cyclic organic amine species, namely piperidinium and cyclobutylammonium. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the crystal structure of an aluminophosphate material containing cyclobutylammonium or a mixture of cyclic amines. Interestingly, UT-7 is observed to thermally transform in the solid state to an as yet unknown layered material that can be independently synthesized in a similar synthetic system. In the same way as UT-3 transforms to the UT-4 layered phase, we believe UT-7 transforms to a layered material by means of a chain to layer transformation.

Synthesis and Crystal-Structures of 2 Novel Anionic Aluminophosphates - A One-Dimensional Chain, Ut-7 ((Al3P5O20H)(5-)(C7H13Nh3+)(5)), and a Layer Containing 2 Cyclic Amines, Ut-8 ((Al3P4O16)(3-)(C4H7Nh3+)(2)(C5H10Nh2+))
UT-7 and UT-8 (University of Toronto, structure numbers 7 and 8) are two novel aluminophosphate materials prepared under non-aqueous conditions. Their structures, extended in one and two dimensions, respectively, have been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by a variety of methods including powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), insitu high-temperature PXRD, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
