Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of new hybrid open-framework indium phosphate-oxalates

Crystalline open-framework inorganic materials have been widely studied because of the wide variety of the structures as well as their applications in heterogeneous catalysis, adsorption and ion exchange1,2]. Of many open-framework solids, metal phosphates are an important family of materials, a large number of aluminum phos-phates3,4], gallium phosphates5—7], zinc phosphates8—10], cobalt phosphate11], beryllium phosphates12—14] have been prepared and characterized. Recently, open-fra…
