Abstract: | Na5VO4]O] and Na4VO4]OH] were obtained from reactions of V2O5 with Na2O and additional NaOH in the latter case, respectively, at 600‐700 °C in sealed Ag containers under Ar atmosphere. The crystal structures have been determined from X‐ray single crystal data. The structures contain isolated VO4]3? complexes and non‐coordinating oxide and hydroxide anions, respectively. Raman and infrared data is compared for both compounds and hydrogen bonding is discussed for Na4VO4]OH]. |
