Ca3(P x V1 − x O4)2: Eu3+ nanophosphor synthesis, controlled microstructure, and photoluminescence

In this paper, Eu³⁺-doped Ca₃(P _x V_{1 ? x} O₄)₂ (x = 0.1, 0.4, 0.7) nanophosphors were synthesized in the presence of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS). The products present interesting and regular morphologies under the mild conditions. For Ca₃(P _x V_{1 ? x} O₄)₂: Eu³⁺, they have the similar phase and their morphologies vary with the content ratio of P to V. Furthermore, the luminescence behavior of Eu³⁺ has been investigated in this one kinds of matrices. In Ca₃(P _x V_{1 ? x} O₄)₂: Eu³⁺, the ⁵ D ₀-⁷ F ₂ emissions of Eu³⁺ were the strongest, indicating that the Eu³⁺ site is without inversion symmetry, the host compositions with different molar ratio of P to V have; great influence on the luminescent performance. Among those products, The value of I ₆₁₅/I ₅₉₃ for Eu³⁺ in Ca₃(P_0.7V_0.3O₄)₂ host lattice is the biggest. The substitution of PO ₄ ^3? for VO ₄ ^3? increase the ratio of surface Eu cations as well as the value of I ₆₁₅/I ₅₉₃ of Eu³⁺.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of two new reduced phosphomolybdates based on an organoamine template and copper ion

Two new compounds, (H₂en)₃(H₂enMe)₄(H₃O){Cu^I[Mo^V ₆O₁₂(OH)₃(HPO₄)(PO₄)₃]₂}?·?6H₂O (1) and (H₂enMe)₄{Cu^ICu^II[Mo^V ₆O₁₂(OH)₃(PO₄)(HPO₄)₂(H₂PO₄)]₂}?·?3H₂O (2), were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TGA, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystallographic analysis reveals that 1 is constructed from cluster anions {Cu^I[Mo^V ₆O₁₂(OH)₃(HPO₄)(PO₄)₃]₂}^15?, protonated organic amines, and water molecules. Each cluster is bridged through hydrogen bonds to form a 3-D supermolecular structure. For 2, {Cu^I[Mo^V ₆O₁₂(OH)₃(PO₄)(HPO₄)₂(H₂PO₄)]₂}^11? are connected by Cu^II cations to form an infinite chain. The formation of 1 and 2 reveals that organoamines influence the structures of the crystals.     

Electron paramagnetic resonance study of doped synthetic crystals of struvite and its zinc analogue

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique has been used to study the Mn²⁺ paramagnetic impurity complexes in synthetic struvite (MgNH₄PO₄β6H₂O) and the zinc isomorph (ZnNH₄PO₄β6H₂O). EPR of VO²⁺ ion complexes in vanadyl doped crystals of the zinc isomorph of struvite has also been studied. Two differently oriented, but otherwise identical complexes of both Mn²⁺ ion and VO²⁺ ion are found in these crystals. The spin Hamiltonian parameters indicate a large orthorhombic distortion of the [Mn²⁺(H₂O)₆] octahedra and an axial symmetry of the vanadyl complexes. The results indicate that in both manganese and vanadyl complexes, the metal ions have covalent bonding with the ligands.     

Topologisch und elektronisch bemerkenswerte „reduzierte”︁ Cluster des Typs [V18O42(X)]n− (X = SO4, VO4) mit Td-Symmetrie und davon abgeleitete Cluster [V(18–p)As2pO42(X)]m− (X = SO3, SO4, H2O; p = 3, 4)

Reduced Clusters with Remarkable Topological and Electronic Properties of the Type of [V₁₈O₄₂(X)]^n? (X = SO₄, VO₄) with T_d-Symmetry and Related Clusters [V_(18—p)As_2pO₄₂(X)]^m? (X = SO₃, SO₄, H₂O; p = 3, 4) The novel cluster-compounds Na₆[V₁₈O₄₂H₉(VO₄)] · 21 H₂O, (NH₄)₈[V₁₈O₄₂(SO₄)] · 25 H₂O, K₆[V₁₅As₆O₄₂(H₂O)] · 8 H₂O, (NH₄)₆[V₁₄As₈O₄₂(SO₃)], (NH₄)₆[V₁₄As₈O₄₂(SO₄)] and [N(CH3)₃]₄[₄V₁₄As₈0₄₂(H₂0)] were prepared and characterized by IR- and UV/Vis/NIR-spectroscopy, magnetic measurements and complete crystal structure analysis. For structural data see Inhaltsübersicht. Topological relations to the rhombicuboctahedron spanned by 24 0-atoms of the genuine hypothetical a-Keggin ion, at which the square planes are capped by V?O or As₂O groups, are discussed. Of particular interest are the ?extended”? Keggin ions [V₁₈O₄₂(X)]ⁿ- (X = SO₄ VO₄), (formaly derived from the hypothetical genuine a-Keggin ion by addition of six V?O groups) which have quite different electron populations in spite of the same structure of their cluster shells.     

Two caesium vanadium hydrogenphosphates with tunnelled structures: Cs2V2O3(PO4)(HPO4) and Cs2[(VO)3(HPO4)4(H2O)]·H2O

Dicaesium divanadium trioxide phosphate hydrogenphosphate, Cs₂V₂O₃(PO₄)(HPO₄), (I), and dicaesium tris[oxidovanadate(IV)] hydrogenphosphate dihydrate, Cs₂[(VO)₃(HPO₄)₄(H₂O)]·H₂O, (II), crystallize in the monoclinic system with all atoms in general positions. The structures of the two compounds are built up from VO₆ octahedra and PO₄ tetrahedra. In (I), infinite chains of corner‐sharing VO₆ octahedra are connected to V₂O₁₀ dimers by phosphate and hydrogenphosphate groups, while in (II) three vanadium octahedra share vertices leading to V₃O₁₅(H₂O) trimers separated by hydrogenphosphate groups. Both structures show three‐dimensional frameworks with tunnels in which Cs⁺ cations are located.     

Vanadium(V) 8-quinolinolate—monomer or dimer?

Extraction of vanadium(V) with 8-quinolinol into chlorobenzene is discussed. Three dimeric species are shown to be responsible for the extraction: 2VO₃^- + 4(HOx)_o α (V₂O₃Ox₄)_o + 2OH^-; log K_ex,1 = -1.60 ± 0.10 2VO₃^- + 4(HOx)_o + H⁺ + ClO₄^- α (V₂O₃H(Ox)₄ · ClO₄)_o + 2OH^-; log K_ex,2 = 1.55 ± 0.10 2VO₃^- + 4(HOx)_o + 2H⁺ + 2ClO₄^- α (V₂O₂Ox₄ · 2ClO₄)_o + 2OH^-; log K_ex,3 = 2.65 ± 0.10 The vanadium(V) complex of 8-quinolinol has also been studied by thermogravimetry and i.r. and visible spectroscopy; an oxo-bridged dimeric structure is postulated. In contrast to 8-quinolinol, 2-methyl-8-quinolinol gives a monomeric vanadium(V) complex under the usual experimental conditions.     

Quantum chemical and spectroscopic analysis of calcium hydroxyapatite and related materials

Amorphous calcium hydroxyapatite was examined by vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and infra-red (IR)) and quantum chemical simulation techniques. The structures and vibrational (IR, Raman and inelastic neutron scattering) spectra of PO₄³⁻ ion, Ca₃(PO₄)₂, [Ca₃(PO₄)₂]₃, Ca₅(PO₄)₃OH, CaHPO₄, [CaHPO₄]₂, Ca₃(PO₄)₂·H₂O, Ca₃(PO₄)₂·2H₂O and Ca₃(PO₄)₂·3H₂O clusters were quantum chemically simulated at ab initio and semiempirical levels of approximation. A complete coordinate analysis of the vibrational spectra was performed. The comparison of the theoretically simulated spectra with the experimental ones allows to identify correctly the phase composition of the amorphous calcium hydroxyapatite and related materials. The shape of the bands in the IR spectra of the hydroxoapatite can be used in order to characterize the structural properties of the material, e.g., the PO₄³⁻ ion status, the degree of hydrolysis of the material and the presence of hydrolysis products.

Contributions on Crystal Chemistry and Thermal Behaviour of Anhydrous Phosphates. XXXII. New Orthophosphates of Divalent Chromium — Mg₃Cr₃(PO₄)₄, Mg_{3, 75}Cr_{2, 25}(PO₄)₄, Ca₃Cr₃(PO₄)₄ and Ca_{2, 00}Cr_{4, 00}(PO₄)₄ Solid state reactions via the gas phase led in the systems A₃(PO₄)₂ / Cr₃(PO₄)₂ (A = Mg, Ca) to the four new compounds Mg₃Cr₃(PO₄)₄ ( A ), Mg_3.75Cr_2.25(PO₄)₄ ( B ), Ca₃Cr₃(PO₄)₄ ( C ), and Ca_2.00Cr_4.00(PO₄)₄ ( D ). These were characterized by single crystal structure investigations [( A ): P2₁/n, Z = 1, a = 4.863(2) Å, b = 9.507(4) Å, c = 6.439(2) Å, β = 91.13(6)°, 1855 independend reflections, 63 parameters, R1 = 0.035, wR2 = 0.083; ( B ): P2₁/a, Z = 2, a = 6.427(2) Å, b = 9.363(2) Å, c = 10.051(3) Å, β = 106.16(3)°, 1687 indep. refl., 121 param., R1 = 0.032, wR2 = 0.085; ( C ): P‐1, Z = 2, a = 8.961(1) Å, b = 8.994(1) Å, c = 9.881(1) Å, α = 104.96(2)°, β = 106.03(2)°, γ = 110.19(2)°, 2908 indep. refl., 235 param., R1 = 0.036, wR2 = 0.111; ( D ): C2/c, Z = 4, a = 17.511(2) Å, b = 4.9933(6) Å, c = 16.825(2) Å, β = 117.95(1)°, 1506 indep. refl., 121 param., R1 = 0.034, wR2 = 0.098]. The crystal structures contain divalent chromium on various crystallographic sites, each showing a (4+n)‐coordination (n = 1, 2, 3). For the magnesium compounds and Ca_2.00Cr_4.00(PO₄)₄ a disorder of the divalent cations Mg²⁺/Cr²⁺ or Ca²⁺/Cr²⁺ is observed. Mg_3.75Cr_2.25(PO₄)₄ adopts a new structure type, while Mg₃Cr₃(PO₄)₄ is isotypic to Mg₃(PO₄)₂. Ca₃Cr₃(PO₄)₄ and Ca_2.00Cr_4.00(PO₄) ₄ are structurally very closely related and belong to the Ca₃Cu₃(PO₄)₄‐structure family. The orthophosphate Ca₉Cr(PO₄)₇, containing trivalent chromium, has been obtained besides C and D .     

Characterization of tetra,dodeca and tetradeca MoV polyoxometalate wheels structured by etidronate ligands

The reactivity of the [Mo^V₂O₄]²⁺ dinuclear unit with the [O₃P(C(CH₃)(OH))PO₃]^4? etidronate ligand has been investigated. Three complexes have been isolated and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-Ray diffraction studies. Structural determination of the tetranuclear compound (CN₃H₆)₆[(Mo^V₂O₄)₂(O₃P(C(CH₃)O)PO₃)₂]·12H₂O (1) revealed that the hydroxo group of the etidronate ligand can be deprotonated in presence of Mo^V even in acidic media. It follows that its coordination mode thus differs from that of the methylenediphosphonate ligand [O₃P(CH₂)PO3]4?, which reactivity with Mo^V has been previously widely studied. In contrast, no such deprotonation of the hydroxo group is observed in the (NH₄)₁₈[(Mo^V₂O₄)₆(OH)₆(O₃P(C(CH₃)(OH))PO₃)₆]·35H₂O complex 2. This species contains a dodecanuclear core analogous to the one previously found in the [(Mo^V₂O₄)₆(OH)₆(O₃PCH₂PO₃)₆]^18? methylenediphosphonato polyanion. In 2, six interconnected {(Mo^V₂O₄)(O₃P(C(CH₃)(OH))PO₃)} units form a cyclohexane-like ring in a chair conformation. In the (CN₃H₆)₁₈Na₃[(Mo^V₂O₄)₇(O₃P(C(CH₃)(OH))PO₃)₇(CH₃COO)₇]·5CH₃COONa 52H₂O compound 3, seven {(Mo^V₂O₄)(O₃P(C(CH₃)(OH))PO₃)(CH₃COO)} units are connected, forming an almost planar tetradecanuclear wheel. This compound represents the largest homometallic Mo^V polyoxometalate cyclic system reported to date. Finally, ³¹P NMR studies revealed that only complex 1 is stable in aqueous solution.     

K3[Fe3.26V0.74(OH)O(PO4)4(H2O)2]·2H2O: a synthetic leucophosphite

A new iron(III)/vanadium(III) phosphate, K₃[Fe_3.26V_0.74(OH)O(PO₄)₄(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O (1), has been obtained by hydrothermal synthesis and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP), thermogravimetric analysis, and FTIR spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals a 3D open framework (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a?=?9.6391(7)?Å, b?=?9.8063(7)?Å, c?=?9.7268(7)?Å, β?=?100.71(1)°, and V?=?903.38(11)?ų). This structure presents Fe^III and V^III in a 4.4?:?1?M ratio with the metal ions in two different crystallographic sites. Both metallic centers have distorted octahedral environments, linked by PO₄ tetrahedra, forming channels along the a-axis. The asymmetric unit of K₃[Fe_3.26V_0.74(OH)O(PO₄)₄(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O presents a {M₄(OH)O(PO₄)₄(H₂O)₂}^3? anionic entity, charge balanced by three K⁺, which are located within the channels. It is also possible to distinguish M₄O₂ units whose M^III polyhedra are linked by vertex and edges.     

Das erste Vanadium(III)‐Borophosphat: Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von CsV3(H2O)2[B2P4O16(OH)4]

The First Vanadium(III) Borophosphate: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of CsV₃(H₂O)₂[B₂P₄O₁₆(OH)₄] CsV₃(H₂O)₂[B₂P₄O₁₆(OH)₄] was prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions (T = 165 °C) from mixtures of CsOH_(aq), VCl₃, H₃BO₃, and H₃PO₄ (molar ratio 1 : 1 : 1 : 2). The crystal structure was determined by X‐ray single crystal methods (monoclinic; space group C2/m, No. 12): a = 958.82(15) pm, b = 1840.8(4) pm, c = 503.49(3) pm; β = 110.675(4)°; Z = 2. The anionic partial structure contains oligomeric units [BP₂O₈(OH)₂]^5–, which are built up by a central BO₂(OH)₂ tetrahedron and two PO₄ tetrahedra sharing common corners. V^III is octahedrally coordinated by oxygen of adjacent phosphate tetrahedra and OH groups of borate tetrahedra as well as oxygen of phosphate tetrahedra and H₂O molecules, respectively (coordination octahedra VO₄(OH)₂ and VO₄(H₂O)₂). The oxidation state +3 for vanadium was confirmed by measurements of the magnetic susceptibility. The trimeric borophosphate groups are connected via vanadium centres to form layers with octahedra‐tetrahedra ring systems, which are likewise linked via V^III‐coordination octahedra. Overall, a three‐dimensional framework constructed from VO₄(OH)₂ and VO₄(H₂O)₂ octahedra as well as BO₂(OH)₂ and PO₄ tetrahedra results. The structure contains channels running along [001], which are occupied by Cs⁺ in a distorted octahedral coordination (CsO₄(H₂O)₂).     

Thermally stimulated luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance studies on uranium doped calcium phosphate

Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies on uranium doped calcium phosphate yielded mechanistic information on the observed glow peaks at 365, 410 and 450 K. TSL spectral studies of the glow peaks showed that UO₂ ²⁺ acts as the luminescent center. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies on gamma-irradiated samples revealed that the predominant radiation induced centers are H⁰, PO₄ ^2-, PO₃ ^2- and O^- ion. Studies on the temperature dependence studies of the EPR spectra of samples annealed to different temperatures indicate the role of H⁰ and PO₄ ^2- ions in the main glow peak at 410 K.     

The first transition metal iodato peroxido complex: the synthesis, vibrational spectra and crystal structure from powder diffraction data of K3[V2O2(O2)4(IO3)]·H2O

The first transition metal iodato peroxido complex, K₃[V₂O₂(O₂)₄(IO₃)]·H₂O (I), was prepared by crystallization from the KVO₃ — KIO₃ — H₂O₂ — H₂O — ethanol (HNO₃) solution. The dinuclear anion is immediately decomposed in aqueous solution; the ⁵¹V NMR spectrum exhibits signals corresponding to [VO(O₂)₂(H₂O)]^?, [V₂O₂(OH)(O₂)₄]^3? and H₂VO₄ ^? species only. The IR and Raman spectra contain all characteristic bands of the VO(O₂)₂ group and the coordinated IO₃ ^? ligand. Based on the positions of bands assigned to the vibrations of the VO(O₂)₂ groups a pentagonal pyramidal arrangement around the vanadium atoms can be supposed. The crystal structure was solved from X-ray synchrotron powder data by direct space method and refined by energy minimization in the solid state employing a hybrid PBE0 functional. This crystal and molecular structure, has confirmed the presence of hexacoordinated vanadium atoms and revealed asymmetric dinuclear structure of the [V₂O₂(O₂)₄(IO₃)]^3? ion. The coordination spheres of vanadium atoms are different — the IO₃ ^? anion is coordinated only to one vanadium center. A thermal analysis of the complex confirmed the presence of water molecules in the crystal structure and revealed a considerable stability of the dehydrated complex.      

Synthesis and structure of alkali metal zirconium vanadate phosphates

Mixed vanadate phosphates in the systems MZr₂(VO₄) _x (PO₄)_{3 ? x} , where M is an alkali metal, were synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalysis, and IR spectroscopy. Substitutional solid solutions with the structure of the mineral kosnarite (NZP) are formed at the compositions 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2 for M = Li; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4 for M = Na; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5 for M = K; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3 for M = Rb; and 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2 for M = Cs. Apart from the high-temperature NZP modification, lithium vanadate phosphates LiZr₂(VO₄) _x (PO₄)_{3 ? x} with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8 synthesized at temperatures not exceeding 840°C crystallize in the scandium tungstate type structure. The crystal structures of LiZr₂(VO₄)_0.8(PO₄)_2.2 (space group P2₁/n, a = 8.8447(6) Å, b = 8.9876(7) Å, c = 12.3976(7) Å, β = 90.821(4)○, V = 985.4(1) ų, Z = 4) and NaZr₂(VO₄)_0.4(PO₄)_2.6 (space group $R\bar 3c$ = 8.8182(3) Å, c = 22.7814(6) Å, V = 1534.14(1) ų, Z = 6) were refined by the Rietvield method. The framework of the vanadate phosphate structure is composed of tetrahedra (that are statistically occupied by vanadium and phosphorus atoms) and ZrO₆ octahedra. The alkali metal atoms occupy extra-framework sites.     

Crystal growth,structure, and properties of manganese orthovanadate Mn3(VO4)2

Manganese orthovanadate Mn₃(VO₄)₂ single crystals were grown for the first time from a flux of MnO/V₂O₅/MoO₃. The flux and oxygen partial pressure used are the key factors for the crystal growth and prevention of the oxidation of Mn²⁺ and the reduction of V⁵⁺ during the crystallization process. The reduction and oxidation chemistry of Mn₃(VO₄)₂ was studied. Mn₃(VO₄)₂ is isostructural with magnesium orthovanadate Mg₃(VO₄)₂, orthorhombic, space group Cmca, a=6.247(1) Å, b=11.728(2) Å, c=8.491(2) Å and Z=4, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Because it is a Mn²⁺ deficient spinel structure there are two-dimensional sheets of Mn²⁺O₆ octahedra within the structure which show unusual ferrimagnetic properties.     

Neue Verbindungen mit Granatstruktur. VI. Vanadate

New Compounds with Garnet Structure. VI. Vanadates The preparation of vanadate-garnets of the following three types is reported: (I) {Na₃}[B₂^III](V₃)O₁₂ (B^III = Cr, Sc), (II) {LiCa₂}[B₂^II](V₃)O₁₂ (B^II = Mg), (III) {Ca₂A^III}[Li₂] (V₃)O₁₂ (A^III = In, Sc). The Cr-compound of type (I) decomposes above 690°C into a mixture of Cr₂O₃ and NaVO₃. The analogous Fe-compound decomposes in a similar way already at 400°C; therefore the preparation by solid state reaction is not possible. Employing larger B^III-ions (Y, Yb, Lu) no garnets of type (I), but mixtures of B^IIIVO₄ (zircon structure) and Na₃B^IIIV₂O₈ are formed. Garnets of type (II) do not exist, when B^II are Co and Ni. Mixtures of {Ca₃}[LiB^II](V₃)O₁₂ (garnet structure), LiB^IIVO₄ (spinel structure) and B₃^II(VO₄)₂ are formed. With type (III) for A^III = Y reaction occurs forming a mixture of YVO₄, Ca₃(VO₄)₂ and Li₃VO₄.     

Eu luminescence—a structural probe in BiCa4(PO4)3O, an apatite related phosphate

Eu³⁺ luminescence is studied in apatite-related phosphate BiCa₄(PO₄)₃O. Compositions of the formula Bi_1−xEu_xCa₄(PO₄)₃O [x=0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0] are synthesized and they are isostructural with parent BiCa₄(PO₄)₃O. Room temperature photoluminescence shows the various transitions ⁵D₀→⁷F_J(=0,1,2) of Eu³⁺. The emission results of compositions with different Eu³⁺ content show the difference in site occupancy of Eu³⁺ in Bi_1−xEu_xCa₄(PO₄)₃O. The intense ⁵D₀-⁷F₀ line at 574 nm for higher Eu³⁺ content is attributed to the presence of strongly covalent Eu-O bond that is possible by substituting Bi³⁺ in the Ca(2) site. This shows the preferential occupancy of Bi³⁺ in Ca(2) site and this has been attributed to the 6s² lone pair electrons of Bi³⁺. This is further confirmed by comparing the emission results with La_0.95Eu_0.05Ca₄(PO₄)₃O.     

Comparative investigations of LiVPO4F/C and Li3V2(PO4)3/C synthesized in similar soft chemical route

Triclinic LiVPO₄F and monoclinic Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ are synthesized through a soft chemical process with mechanical activation assist, followed by annealing. In this process, ascorbic acid is used as reducing agent as well as carbon source. The as-prepared samples are coated with amorphous carbon. XPS analysis results show the expected valency states of ions in LiVPO₄F and Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃. The electrochemical properties of the prepared LiVPO₄F/C and Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C cathodes are evaluated. The as-prepared LiVPO₄F/C cathode shows an initial discharge specific capacity of 140?±?3 mAh?g^?1 at 30 mA?g^?1 in the voltage range of 3.0~4.4 V, compared with that of 138?±?3 mAh?g^?1 possessed by Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C. Both samples exhibit good cycle performance at different current densities. The capacity delivered by LiVPO₄F remains 95.5 and 91.7 % of its initial discharge capacity after 50 cycles at 150 and 750 mA?g^?1, respectively, while 97.4 and 90.6 % for Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C. But the rate capability of LiVPO₄F/C is not so good compared with as-prepared Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C.     

Structure cristalline de (NH4)2PO3H,H2O: Stereochimie de l'Ion PO3H2− et ses relations avec PO3F2− et SO32−

(NH₄)₂PO₃H, H₂O crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with a = 6.322(1) Å, b = 8.323(1) Å, c = 12.676(1) Å, β = 98.84(1) and Z = 4. The structure was refined to R = 0.022 based on 853 independent X-Rays intensities. Improved dimensions of the tetrahedral PO₃H^2? ion have been obtained: P?H = 1.34(2) and P?O = 1.514(2) Å. The geometry of this ion is compared with that of PO₃F^2? and SO₃^2? ions and we find a decrease of the volume: V_F? > V_H+ > V_{lone pair}.     

Two-dimensional layer polyoxometalate-based inorganic metal–organic hybrid supramolecular networks woven by Cu ··· Opolyoxoanion short contact weak interactions

Two polyoxometalate-based inorganic metal-organic hybrid supramolecular complexes [Cu(2,2′-bpy)₂]₂[V^IV ₂Mo^V ₅Mo^VI ₇O₃₈(PO₄)] (1) (2,2′-bpy?=?2,2′-bipyridine) and [Cu(2,2′-bpy)₂]₂[Mo^VMo^VI ₁₁O₃₆(PO₄)]?·?3H₂O (2), have been hydrothermally prepared and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both complexes are constructed from polyoxoanions (the bivanadyl capped α-Keggin polymolybdate anion [V^IV ₂Mo^V ₅Mo^VI ₇O₃₈(PO₄)]^4? for 1 and the reduced 12-molybdophosphate anion [Mo^VMo^VI ₁₁O₃₆(PO₄)]^4? for 2) and copper(II) complex cations [Cu(2,2′-bpy)₂]²⁺, forming two-dimensional (2D) layer network structures, in which the polyoxoanion and the complex fragment cation connect with each other through Cu?···?O_polyoxoanion short contact weak interactions, which mediate ferromagnetic interaction.
