Structure description
The chemistry of phosphonic acids was initiated by the need for hydrolysis-resistant
replacements for polyphosphates. Synthetic access to a variety of phosphonic acid
structures is possible through several well-established routes (Sevrain et al., 2017). To the
inorganic chemist, phosphonic acids are a valuable synthetic tool as versatile ligands for
generating a plethora of metal phosphonate compounds that present diverse structural
architectures, from molecular complexes, to chains and layers, to framework structures
(Clearfield & Demadis, 2012). Herein, we report a new ZnII phosphonate one-dimen-
sional anionic coordination polymer that contains the ligand [amino(iminio)meth-
yl]phosphonate ({[Zn(CH4N2PO3)3]}n, Zn-AIMP) and an oxidanium (H3O+) cation.
The ligand AIMP was generated in situ during the synthesis by the decomposition of the
hexaethyl 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyltris(phosphonate) ester upon dealkylation with tri-
methylbromosilane.

Special details
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance
matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles;
correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate
(isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. All hydrogen atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and included as fixed contributions riding on
attached atoms with isotropic thermal displacement parameters 1.2 or 1.5 times those of the respective carrier atom.
