Popis: Co-crystallization of two urea-functionalized ligandswith tetrabutylammonium (TBA) dihydrogen phosphate resulted in the isolation of discrete (H2PO4–)4 and (H2PO4–)6 clusters stabilized in the crystalline state by multiple urea hydrogen bonds. Structural analysis by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, combined with a Cambridge Structural Database survey of (H2PO4–)n aggregates, established that these clusters display unique topologies and hydrogen-bonding connectivities.
