The first enantiomerically pure metallophosphonate, ( R )‐Zn[O 3 PCH 2 P(O)(CH 3 )(C 6 H 5 )]·H 2 O has been prepared. The layered arrangement in this compound is drastically different from that observed in the racemic series; this observation gives clear evidence of the critical role played by the organic moiety that fully drives the coordination chemistry of phosphonic acids with transition metals.
