In the title compound, [ZnCl(HPO4)](C5H8NO), polymeric inorganic layers constructed from ZnO3Cl and PO4 tetrahedra are linked by O atoms: O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur within the layers. The organic cations occupy the interlayer regions and interact with the layers by way of N—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl, and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

The title compound Zn(HPO4)ClC5H5ONH3 was prepared at room temperature by adding 5.8 g (50 mmol) of orthophosphoric acid (85 weight % from Fluka) to a solution of 4.8 g of furfurylamine (50 mmol)(Acros) in 60 ml of water. To this mixture, we added, drop by drop, an aqueous solution of 6.8 g (50 mmol) of zinc chloride (Prolabo) under continuous stirring. A white precipitate was formed which completely dissolved by adding phosphoric acid. The obtained solution was slowly evaporated at room temperature until the formation of needle colorless crystals of the title compound (yield 53%).
The H atoms were all located in a difference map, but those attached to carbon atoms were repositioned geometrically. The H atoms were initially refined with soft restraints on the bond lengths and angles to regularize their geometry (C—H in the range 0.93–0.98, N—H in the range 0.86–0.89 N—H to 0.86 O—H = 0.82 Å) and Uiso(H) (in the range 1.2–1.5 times Ueq of the parent atom), after which the positions were refined with riding constraints.
Recently, zincophosphates with monomeric phases, chains, layers and three-dimensional open framework have been prepared in the presence of different
alkali metal cations or metal complexes as structure directing agent (Gier and Stucky, 1991; Harrison and Phillips, 1997). We report here the of one such compound, Zn(HPO4)ClC5H5ONH3 (I), (Fig. 1). The atomic arrangement of the title compound consists of corrugated anionic layers of formula [Zn(HPO4)Cl]nn- parallel to (b, c) plane. Charge neutrality is achieved by, the presence of protonated furfurylamine templete cation trapped in the inter-layer spacing (Fig. 2). Both zinc and phosphorus atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated. The zinc atom is connected by three phosphate groups and has one terminal Zn—Cl vertex. On the other hand, each phosphorus atom is bonded to three Zn atoms through three oxygen atoms with the forth coordination site being a terminal P—OH group. The topology of the zincophosphate connectivity pattern is shown in Fig. 3.The ZnO3Cl and PO4 groups in Zn(HPO4)ClC5H5ONH3 fuse together via Zn—O—P bridges lead to a two-dimensional network. The resulting infinite anionic layers parallel to (b, c) plane are situated at x = 0. These layers are arranged in such away as to create two kinds of pores. The first one, built up from four-membered [Zn2P2] rings (presents an approximate dimensions 4.426 × 3.911 Å) and the second one formed by eight-membered [Zn4P4] rings (exhibits as approximate dimensions 9.571 × 3.376 Å)) This inorganic framework, with a 4.82 topology, is closely similar to that of Zn(HPO4)ClC5H12N [24]. However, these second pores are not completely accessible due to the presence of P—OH groups extending into them, thereby blocking the entry to pores (Fig. 2). In the [Zn(HPO4)Cl]nn- layers, the bond-length values (Zn—O (mean= 1.947 (2) Å, Zn—Cl = 2.216 (1) Å and P—O(mean) = 1.531 (2) Å) are close to those observed in other zincophosphate containing similar polyhedron Zn(HPO4)ClC5H12N (Rayes et al., 2001) and Zn(HPO4)ClC4H10NO (Kefi et al., 2007). Among the four distinct oxygen of the PO3OH) unit, three are bonded with Zn atoms, while the other has a significantly longer bond length (P—O = 1.570 (2) Å) suggesting that oxygen O(1) is an hydroxyl group atom. Hydrogen bonds plays an important role in stabilizing the Zn(HPO4)ClC5H5ONH3 structure. Furfurylaminium cations interact with zincophosphate layers through N—H···O and N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds. Inside layers, the P—O—H groups are interconnected via O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3).

Recently, zincophosphates with monomeric phases, chains, layers and three-dimensional open framework have been prepared in the presence of different amines, alkali metal cations or metal complexes as structure directing agent (Gier and Stucky, 1991; Harrison and Phillips, 1997). We report here the crystal structure of one such compound, Zn(HPO4)ClC5H5ONH3 (I), (Fig. 1). The atomic arrangement of the title compound consists of corrugated anionic layers of formula [Zn(HPO4)Cl]nn- parallel to (b, c) plane. Charge neutrality is achieved by, the presence of protonated furfurylamine templete cation trapped in the inter-layer spacing (Fig. 2). Both zinc and phosphorus atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated. The zinc atom is connected by three phosphate groups and has one terminal Zn—Cl vertex. On the other hand, each phosphorus atom is bonded to three Zn atoms through three oxygen atoms with the forth coordination site being a terminal P—OH group. The topology of the zincophosphate connectivity pattern is shown in Fig. 3.
The ZnO3Cl and PO4 groups in Zn(HPO4)ClC5H5ONH3 fuse together via Zn—O—P bridges lead to a two-dimensional network. The resulting infinite anionic layers parallel to (b, c) plane are situated at x = 0. These layers are arranged in such away as to create two kinds of pores. The first one, built up from four-membered [Zn2P2] rings (presents an approximate dimensions 4.426 × 3.911 Å) and the second one formed by eight-membered [Zn4P4] rings (exhibits as approximate dimensions 9.571 × 3.376 Å)) This inorganic framework, with a 4.82 topology, is closely similar to that of Zn(HPO4)ClC5H12N [24]. However, these second pores are not completely accessible due to the presence of P—OH groups extending into them, thereby blocking the entry to pores (Fig. 2). In the [Zn(HPO4)Cl]nn- layers, the bond-length values (Zn—O (mean= 1.947 (2) Å, Zn—Cl = 2.216 (1) Å and P—O(mean) = 1.531 (2) Å) are close to those observed in other zincophosphate containing similar polyhedron Zn(HPO4)ClC5H12N (Rayes et al., 2001) and Zn(HPO4)ClC4H10NO (Kefi et al., 2007). Among the four distinct oxygen of the PO3OH) unit, three are bonded with Zn atoms, while the other has a significantly longer bond length (P—O = 1.570 (2) Å) suggesting that oxygen O(1) is an hydroxyl group atom. Hydrogen bonds plays an important role in stabilizing the Zn(HPO4)ClC5H5ONH3 structure. Furfurylaminium cations interact with zincophosphate layers through N—H···O and N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds. Inside layers, the P—O—H groups are interconnected via O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3).
