title: A new aquahydroxidocopper(II) oxovanadium(IV) vanadate, Cu(H2O)(OH)VO(VO4).
abstract: Single crystals of the title compound have been prepared hydrothermally. Vanadate tetrahedra and distorted oxovanadium octahedra form layers, linked by two independent Cu atoms located on inversion centres. Each Cu atom is surrounded by six O atoms, forming an octahedron distorted by Jahn-Teller elongation. One of the two independent interlayer spaces bridged by the Cu atoms is significantly more compact than the other.
