Crystal Structure, Thermal and Magnetic Behavior of Inorganic–Organic Hybrid [V^IV ₄O₁₀ V^V ₂O₄] (C₆H₁₄N₂)·H₂O Polymeric Framework

Summary

The inorganic–organic hybrid [V^IV ₄O₁₀V^V ₂O₄] (C₆H₁₄N₂)·H₂O polymeric framework was prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions from a mixture of DABCO and V₂O₅ in deionized water with a 1:1:450 mole ratio, at neutral pH. The reaction was carried out at 180 °C for 3 days under autogenous pressure yielding phase pure crystals product. The crystal structure was studied using both powder and single crystal X-ray crystallography, revealing the structure to be of the ({UuDd}:T*)α′ type in the SP+T class and Z-T subclass. The presence of the organic cation was confirmed by FT-IR spectrum and chemical composition analysis. The structure was thermally stable up to over 400 °C, and showed ferromagnetic character at room temperature with the maximum molar susceptibility of 8.26 × 10⁻³ emu/mol⁻¹ at zero applied field.
