Abstract

An organometallic non-aqueous route to zinc phosphonates and to their intercalates has been studied. Various phosphonic acids react with dimethylzinc in THF media to afford the corresponding layered zinc phosphonates Zn (O 3 PR 1)(R 1= Me, Ph, 2-and 3-thienyl, thiophen-3-ylmethyl) with evolution of methane. The presence of a primary n-alkylamine in the reaction mixture allows the one-pot formation of 2D-layered intercalated phases of ...
