Abstract

The compound (enH2)6[HV(16)(IV)V(2)(V)O(42)(Cl)]center dot Cl(2).2H2O (en = 1,2-diaminoethane) (1), was synthesized under solvothermal conditions employing the amine as reducing agent. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with a = 13.3343(7), b = 22.3697(3), c = 19.8012(11) angstrom, V = 5906.4(5) angstrom 3, Z = 4. The central structural motif is a polyoxovanadate anion [HV(18)O(42)(Cl)](-10) being composed of 18 VO(5) square pyramids. The cluster shell contains a (VO(5))(8) ring in the vertical plane and two (VO(5))(5) pentagons above and below the ring which are twisted by 45 degrees against each other.Bond valence sum analysis indicates a mixture of VIV/VV atoms with a ratio of 16:2, which is further supported by redox titration. An arrangement of these clusters within the (001) plane leads to the formation of channels hosting the protonated amine molecules, the Cl anions and water molecules which are joined by an extended hydrogen bonding network. TG-MS investigation shows a thermal decomposition reaction in at least three steps. The optical band gap was determined as 2.5 eV.
