Figure 3
The crystal packing modes in the structures of (I) and (II), showing (a) the anionic ribbons joined by the 4-aminopyridinium cations to form a three-dimensional structure, and (b) the double layers made up from anionic chains in a head-to-head arrangement with NH4+ cations and water molecules located between them. O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are shown with dashed lines. Water molecules in (I) have been omitted for clarity; the shaded tetrahedra represent the phosphonate groups. Symmetry codes for (II) are given in Table 4. |
