Abstract
A new aluminum phenylphosphonate compound, AlH(C6H5P03)2 was obtained by refluxing a mixture of aluminum nitrate and excess phenylphosphonic acid in water. The compound was characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The data indicates that an intercalation compound formed, with an interlayer spacing of 15 angstroms. The compound contains both tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated aluminum atoms, suggesting the presence of two or more crystalline phases or a complex unit cell structure. The compound also possesses some unique ion-exchange properties.
