Two ethylenediamine-templated zeolite-type structures in zinc arsenate and cobalt phosphate systems

Hydrothermal syntheses and X-ray crystal structures of two zeolite-type structures encapsulating protonated ethylenediamine and consisting of three-dimensional 8-ring channels are presented. UCSB-3 and ACP-3 are isostructural and have zeolite-type topologies. The framework consists of cross-linked bifurcated hexagonal-square (bhs) chains, similar to that found in the zeolite-type structure, AlPO4-D. Alternatively, like a number of zeolite structures such as ABW, gismondine, merlinoite, and phillipsite, the framework can be considered as superimposed 4.8(2) nets. UCSB-3 is the only amine-templated arsenate with a zeolite-type topology. Crystal data for (H3NCH2CH2NH3)(0.5).
