A hydrothermal investigation of the 1/2V2O5-H2C2O4/H3PO4/NH4OH system: synthesis and structures of (NH4)VOPO(4).1.5H2O, (NH4)0.5VOPO(4).1.5H2O, (NH4)2[VO(H2O)3]2[VO(H2O)][VO(PO4)2](2).3H2O, and (NH4)2[VO(HPO4)]2(C2O4).5H2O.
The 1/2V2O5-H2C2O4/H3PO4/NH4OH system was investigated using hydrothermal techniques. Four new phases, (NH4)VOPO(4).1.5H2O (1), (NH4)0.5VOPO(4).1.5H2O (2), (NH4)2[VO(H2O)3]2[VO(H2O)][VO(PO4)2]2.3H2O (3), and (NH4)2[VO(HPO4)]2(C2O4).H2O (4), have been prepared and structurally characterized. Compounds 1 and 2 have layered structures closely related to VOPO(4).2H2O and A0.5VOPO4.yH2O (A = mono- or divalent metals), whereas 3 has a 3D open-framework structure. Compound 4 has a layered structure and contains both oxalate and phosphate anions coordinated to vanadium cations. Crystal data: (NH4)VOPO(4).1.5H2O, tetragonal (I), space group I4/mmm (No. 139), a = 6.3160(5) A, c = 13.540(2) A, Z = 4; (NH4)0.5VOPO(4).1.5H2O, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/m (No. 11), a = 6.9669(6) A, b = 17.663(2) A, c = 8.9304(8) A, beta = 105.347(1) degrees, Z = 8; (NH4)2[VO(H2O)3]2[VO(H2O)][VO(PO4)2]2.3H2O, triclinic, space group P1 (No. 2), a = 10.2523(9) A, b = 12.263(1) A, c = 12.362(1) A, alpha = 69.041(2) degrees, beta = 65.653(2) degrees, gamma = 87.789(2) degrees, Z = 2; (NH4)2[VO(HPO4)]2(C2O4).5H2O, monoclinic (C), space group C2/m (No. 12), a = 17.735(2) A, b = 6.4180(6) A, c = 22.839(2) A, beta = 102.017(2) degrees, Z = 6.
