| Description | The reaction of tert-butylphosphonic acid with equimolar quantities of AlMe3 in THF/n-hexane yields a mixture of [MeAlO3PtBu]6 (1) and [MeAlO3PtBu]4 (2). The molecular structure of 1 resembles the D6R building units found in aluminophosphates. The central core of the Al6O18P6 polyhedron can be described as a cylindrical drum. By tailoring the alkyl groups on aluminum and phosphorus, it is possible to generate bigger building units of aluminophosphate molecular sieves. |
