The structures of Zr­(IV) phosphonate-phosphate based, unconventional metal organic framework materials have been determined using atomic pair distribution function analysis of high energy, X-ray total scattering diffraction data. They are found to form as nanocrystalline layers of Zr phosphate, sim...
