A novel open-framework copper borophosphate: Cu(H2O)(2)[B2P2O8(OH)(2)]
A new open-framework copper borophosphate was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Its structure may be regarded as a layer forming via vertex-sharing BO3(OH) and PO4 tetrahedra bonded together with CUO2(OH)(2)(H2O)(2) octahedral units. The thermal stability and magnetic properties are also discussed.
