Abstract

Single crystals of Ca(HO₃PC₆H₅)₂ (1) and Sr(HO₃PC₆H₅)₂ (2) have been obtained via the crystallization of their respective amorphous powders. The amorphous compounds were synthesized by traditional solution routes and were subsequently crystallized at 160°C in a Teflon-lined autoclave containing 1–3 mL distilled water. The resultant single crystals were physically isolated and their structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The two compounds are isostructural and crystallize in space group C2/c with lattice parameters of a = 31.267(3) Å, b = 5.6185(6) Å, c = 7.7202(8) Å, β = 101.924(2)°; and a = 31.514(4) Å, b = 5.8098(8) Å, c = 7.8218(10) Å, β = 102.063(3)° for the calcium and strontium phenylphosphonate, respectively.
