title: In situ ligand exchange-mediated 0D/1D transformation of a polyoxovanadate.
abstract: The antimonato-polyoxovanadate {NiII(en)3}3[VSbO42(H2O)]·ca.15H2O was utilized as a synthon for the solvothermal in situ generation of the new compound {NiII(phen)3}2[{NiII(en)2}VSbO42(H2O)]·19H2O, a rearrangement induced by ligand metathesis. While in the precursor structure cations and anions are isolated, the solid-state structure of the product is characterized by 1D chains consisting of alternating [V15Sb6O42(H2O)]6-cluster shells and [Ni(en)2]2+units covalently linked to neighboring clusters via terminal oxygen atoms. Water clusters composed of sixteen hydrogen-bonded H2O molecules are located in void spaces of the structure. The magnetic properties indicate weak antiferromagnetic interactions of the bridging Ni2+center and adjacent polyoxovanadate anions, as well as small magnetic anisotropy of the individual Ni2+centers.
