Abstract

The hydrothermal reaction of a mixture of vanadium oxides with (HOCH2)3CCH2OH in the presence of Me3NHCl yields the reduced species (Me3NH)2[VIV10O14(OH)2{(OCH2)CCH2OH}4]·2H2O (1). In contrast, the reactions of vanadium oxides with (HOCH2)3CR3, using NaCl, KCl, or (C4H9)4NCl as mineralizers, yield the mixed-valence species M2[VIV8VV2O16{(OCH2)3CR}4]·nH2O (M = Na, n = 0, R = -CH2CH3 (2); ? = ?, n = 2, R = -CH2CH3 (3); M = (C4H9)4N, n = 0, R = -CH3 (4)). These compounds exhibit structures based on the decavanadate core {V10O28}, with ten doubly-bridging and two triply-bridging oxo groups of this parent structure replaced by the alkoxy donors of the ligands. The structural consequences of protonation of the core in 1 and of oxidation of two vanadium centers in 2-4 are presented. The crystal packing patterns of anion clusters and cations in these species reveal the common structural motif of anion stacking to produce polar and nonpolar channels. The influence of the cation on the details of the extended structure is apparent in the crystal packing descriptions. Crystal data are as follows.
