Poly[4,4'-iminodipyridinium [tetra-₃-oxido-tetraoxido-di-₄-phosphato-⁴O:O':O'':O'''-tetravanadium(V)]]

G. A. Farnum and R. L. LaDuca

Abstract: In the title salt, {(C₁₀H₁₁N₃)[V₄O₈(PO₄)₂]}_n, cubane-like [V₄O₈]⁴⁺ clusters are connected by phosphate anions into anionic [V₄P₂O₁₆]_n^2n- layers. These aggregate into the three-dimensional structure via N-HO hydrogen-bonding mechanisms imparted by 4,4'-iminodipyridinium dications situated between the layers.
