Abstract
The first vanadium aluminophosphates, Cs[(VO)Al(PO4)2] · H2O (1), Rb[(VO)Al(PO4)2] · H2O (2), (NH3CH2CH2NH2) [(VO)Al(PO4)2] (3), and CH3NH3[(VO)Al(PO4)2] (4), have been hydrothermally prepared from a vanadium source, AlCl3 · 6H2O, H3PO4, H2O, and a charge compensating organic species. The phosphates are built up from tetrahedrally coordinated aluminum and phosphorous atoms; phosphates (1), (2), and (3) contain octahedrally coordinated vanadium atoms, and phosphate (4) contains a square pyramidal vanadium atom. The frameworks in phosphates (1)-(4) are structurally related and incorporate cations of similar size and charge. In phosphate (3) the 1-aminoethane-2-ammonium cation is bonded through the nitrogen to the vanadium as a monodentate ligand, providing the sixth vertex of the vanadium octahedron, with the other five present as oxygen atoms. In phosphates (1), (2), and (4), the Cs+, Rb+, and methylammonium cations, respectively, replace the charge compensating organic ligand present in phosphate (3). The four phosphates are conceptually constructed of one-dimensional aluminophosphate chains connected into three-dimensional frameworks via vanadium polyhedra that corner share to the phosphate tetrahedra. The Al is oxo bridged only to P5+ with no Al-O-V bonds present.
