Abstract
Two polymorphs of zero-dimensional zinc phosphate with the formula, 0â[Zn(2,2â²-bipy)(H2PO4)2], have been synthesized employing hydrothermal technique and their structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Both the structures consists of ZnO3N2 distorted trigonal-bipyramidal and PO2(OH)2 tetrahedral units linked through their vertices giving rise to a zero-dimensional molecular zinc phosphate. The structures are stabilized by extensive hydrogen bond interactions between zero-dimensional monomers. The structures display subtle differences in their packing created by hydrogen bond interactions. Crystal data: polymorph I, triclinic, space group P1¯ (No. 2), a=7.5446(15)Ã
