Triclinic modification of tetrakis(triethylammonium) dihydrogenodecavanadate(V)

In the title ammonium polyoxometallate salt, (C6H16N)4[H2V10O28], the anion features O atoms engaged in [mu]6-, [mu]3- and [mu]2-bridging of adjacent VV atoms, confering an octahedral coordination at each of the twenty unique metal atoms. Two anions are linked by [mu]3- and [mu]2-bridged OH units across a center of inversion, forming a dimer which is linked to the cations by N-H...O hydrogen bonds. The cation is disordered over two positions in a 0.776 (4):0.224 (4) ratio in one of the two independent ion pairs in the asymmetric unit, and 0.627 (10):0.373 (10) in the other.
