Metal diphosphonate; hydrothermal synthesis; layered structure; X-ray diffraction

Three new, isostructural methylenediphosphonates of molybdenum, A[MoO₂(O₃PCH₂PO₃H)] (A = Rb (1), NH₄ (2) and Tl (3)) have been synthesized by hydrothermal method and structurally characterised by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic techniques. These compounds crystallize in monoclinic space group,P2₁/c with Z = 4 and consist of [MoO₂(O₃PCH₂PO₃H)]-anionic layers interleaved with A⁺ ions.
