The phosphonocarboxylic acid H(HO3PCH2) 2NH-CH2C6H4-COOH (H5L) was synthesized and characterized by NMR- and IR-spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Reactions of H5L with samarium(III) chloride and calcium(II) chloride resulted in three new compounds, Sm[(O3PCH2)2NH-CH2C 6H4-COOH]·H2O (1), Ca[H(O 3PCH2)2NH-CH2C6H 4-COOH]·H2O (2), and Ca[(HO3PCH 2)2NH-CH2C6H4-COOH] 2·4H2O (3). The single-crystal structure determination of the title compounds reveals that in H5L as well as in compounds 1, 2, and 3 zwitterions are present. Within the M-O building units of the metal phosphonates we observed a different degree of dimensionality, depending on the oxidation state of the metal ion and the synthesis conditions. In 1, one-dimensional chains of edge-sharing SmO8 polyhedra are observed while in 2, isolated units of edge-sharing CaO6 octahedra and in 3 isolated CaO6 octahedra are observed. However, looking at the organic part, the rigid phenyl carboxylic acid moieties arrange in a zipper-like fashion and hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the stabilization of the crystal structure. The title compounds were further characterized by IR spectroscopy and TG analysis. Additionally, the thermal stability of 1 was investigated by temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction.
