One-dimensional Vanadyl Phosphate Containing the Tancoite-like {vIvO（HPO4）2}2- Chain

A vanadyl phosphate containing a new member of tancoite-like single chain, （DAPH2）VIVO（HPO4）2]·xH20 （x ≈ 0.2, DAP = 1,3-diaminopropane, C3H10N2）, has been synthesized under hydro（solvo）thermal conditions. It crystallizes in orthorhombic space group P21212 （No. 18） with a = 7.1730（14）, b = 19.252（4）, c = 8.6557（17） A, Z= 4, V= 1195.3（4）A3, C3H14.38N2P2VO9.19, Mr = 338.47, Dc = 1.881 g/cm3,μ（MoKa） = 1.138 mm-1 and F（000） = 692. The final full-matrix least-squares refinement converged to R = 0.0408, wR = 0.1046 for 2498 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I） and R = 0.0456 and wR = 0.1080 for all data （2750） and S = 1.001. Its one-dimensional 1 structure consists of tancoite-like ∞1 {vIVO（HPO4）2}2- single chains surrounded by DAPH22＋ ions and water molecules. The single chain is built from trans-corner-sharing octahedral {VIV= O…VIV} backbone loop-branched by HPO4 groups like staple forming a new member of tancoite single chain. Due to the special coordination of VIVO6, the ∞1 {VO（HPO4）2-} chain adopts a larger M-O-M angle （V-O-V = 135°） than those of tancoite chains reported before. The corner-sharing linear {VIV = O…VIV} chain structure also leads to a one-dimensional weak antiferromagnetic interaction at low temperature. The magnetic measurements confirm the 4＋ valence state of vanadium. IR and TG results of the title compound are also discussed.
