Organic-inorganic hybrid phenylphosphonates with hierarchical morphologies have attracted much attention due to their structural versatility for various applications including catalysis, adsorption, and biomedicals, however, so far there have been no reports of the synthesis and application of aluminum phenylphosphonate microspheres. Here, we report a hydrothermal method for the synthesis of the flower-like porous aluminum phenylphosphonate microspheres by using phenylphosphinic acid and aluminum nitrate as the precursors. The nano-flakes formed in the initial growing stage are believed to play a key role in the formation of aluminum phenylphosphonate micro-flowers. The self-assembly of the flower-like microspheres has been identified to involve a two-stage growth process: a synergistic Ostwald ripening and oriented nanosheets attachment. The resultant aluminum phenylphosphonate micro-flowers can be easily converted to mesoporous amorphous aluminum phosphates by high temperature treatment without causing any morphology deterioration. The hierarchical aluminum phenylphosphonate microspheres have been applied to enrich peptide. This versatile synthesis method would enable to synthesize other metal phosphonates/phosphates spheres with interesting architecture for the potential application in catalysis, energy storage and nanomedicine.

A novel and submicro-scale aluminum branched oligo(phenylphosphonate) (AHPP) has been successfully synthesized and embedded into a polymeric substrate to improve the fire safety of epoxy resin (EP). The chemical structures of intermediates and target products were characterized using the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared analysis. Morphology analysis confirmed that all of the as-synthesized AHPP submicro-particles are mutually well-separated.

The main advantage of the yolk-shell geometry is the possibility of introducing different chemical or physical properties within a single particle. Here, a one-step hydrothermal synthesis route for fabricating amphoteric yolk-shell structured aluminum phenylphosphonate microspheres using urea as the precipitant is proposed.

The reactions of LAlH2 (L = HC(CMeNAr)2, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) (1) with diphenylsilanediol, phenylphosphonic acid, diphenylphosphinic acid, and pyrocatechol afford compounds with the Al–O–X (X = Si, P, C) motif of composition [LAl(μ-O)]2Si(Ph)2 (2), [LAl(μ-O)]2PO(Ph) (3), LAl[OPO(Ph)2]2 (4), and LAl(μ-O)2(o-C6H4) (5), respectively. Compound 2 contains the Al–O–Si–O–Al heterotrimetallic dioxide chain. Compound 3 features an Al(μ-O)]2P four-membered ring, while compound 4 exhibits a P–O–Al–O–P chain structure.

Simple azo-dyes carrying phosphonic acid and arsonic acid substituents such as 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl azo)phenylphosphonic acid (5) and 4-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)phenylarsonic acid (6) bind more strongly to high surface area oxides such as aluminium trihydroxide and goethite than their carboxylic and sulfonic acid analogues and the phosphonate-functionalized dyes have been shown to have greater humidity fastness when printed onto commercial alumina-coated papers. Adsorption isotherm measurements provide evidence for the formation of ternary dye/cyclodextrin/surface complexes. Dyes which form such ternary complexes show higher light fastness when printed onto alumina coated papers in an ink formulation containing alpha-cyclodextrin.
