The title compound, propane-1,3-diammonium tetra­vanadate, (C3H12N2)[V4O10], represents a second polymorph of composition β-[H3N(CH2)3NH3][V4O10]. It differs from the α polymorph [Riou & Ferey (1995[Riou, D. & Ferey, G. (1995). J. Solid State Chem. 120, 137-145.]). J. Solid State Chem. 120, 137–145] in the conformation of the propane-1,3-diammonium dication which, in the present example, lies on a twofold axis and adopts a synsyn rather than a synanti conformation. The twofold symmetry of this conformation thus co-operates with the vanadium oxide framework to result in a higher symmetry for the resultant crystal, viz. C2/c versus P21/n. The overall unit-cell parameters for the two polymorphs are similar, and the inorganic layer within each is topologically identical, comprising edge-sharing VIVO5 square pyramids linked together via corner-sharing with VVO4 tetra­hedra. A key difference between the two polymorphs is a `head-to-head' versus `head-to-tail' stacking of the vanadyl groups in adjacent layers.

Comment

The title compound, β-[H3N(CH2)3NH3][V4O10], (I)[link], was prepared during a more general survey of the hydro­thermal chemistry of vanadium in the presence of organic templating agents and HF (Aldous et al., 2006[Aldous, D. W., Goff, R. J., Attfield, J. P. & Lightfoot, P. (2006). Inorg. Chem. In the press.]). Specifically, it arose from an attempt to prepare a structural analogue of an inter­esting polar material, [H3N(CH2)2NH3][VOF4(H2O)] (Stephens & Lightfoot, 2005[Stephens, N. F. & Lightfoot, P. (2005). J. Mater. Chem. 15, 4298-4300.]). An α polymorph of the same composition has been reported previously (Riou & Ferey, 1995[Riou, D. & Ferey, G. (1995). J. Solid State Chem. 120, 137-145.]). The different polymorphs arise from quite similar hydro­thermal reactions, both employing HF, but the α polymorph also

[Scheme 1]
included SiO2 in the reaction mixture and the synthesis being carried out at a higher temperature of 453 K and a lower pH of 4–5.

The α form has similar unit-cell parameters to (I)[link] [P21/n, a = 7.9991 (1) Å, b = 10.001 (1) Å and c = 15.703 (1) Å, and β = 100.49 (1)° at 298 K]. Although the structural units are the same in each case, the higher symmetry in (I)[link] is perhaps encouraged by the additional symmetry within the organic dication, which lies on a twofold axis in the β form (Fig. 1[link]). A projection of the unit cell of (I)[link] along the c axis, together with the corresponding view for the α form, is shown in Fig. 2[link].

There are two unique V sites in the structure of (I)[link], atom V1 being five-coordinated by O and atom V2 being four-coordinate. Bond-valence sum analysis (Brown & Altermatt, 1985[Brown, I. D. & Altermatt, D. (1985). Acta Cryst. B41, 244-247.]) shows these sites to be VIV and VV, respectively. The compound exhibits a layered crystal structure comprised of edge-sharing V1O5 square pyramids linked together via corner-sharing V2O4 tetra­hedra to form continuous inorganic sheets in the ab plane. These are separated by hydrogen-bonded organic cations along the c axis. Similar structural building units are known in vanadium oxide chemistry (Zavalij & Whittingham, 1999[Zavalij, P. Y. & Whittingham, M. S. (1999). Acta Cryst. B55, 627-663.]).

The most significant difference in the unit-cell parameters of the two forms is the considerable reduction in the c axis of the β form. A comparative view perpendicular to the c axis is shown in Fig. 3[link], and the difference in c dimensions may be explained by the more extensive hydrogen bonding in the β form (Table 2[link]), whereby each N—H bond acts as a donor. This difference in inter­layer hydrogen bonding is co-operative, with a different stacking of adjacent vanadium oxide layers, such that the vanadyl bonds of the VO5 pyramids take up a `head-to-head' arrangement in the β polymorph, in contrast with a `head-to-tail' configuration in the α polymorph. This leads to a short inter­layer O5⋯O5([-x, y, {1\over2}-z]) contact of 2.770 (3) Å in (I)[link], which does not occur in the α polymorph. We note that polymorphism has also been observed in two closely related compositions incorporating dications of ethyl­enediamine and piperazine (Zhang et al., 1996[Zhang, Y., Haushaler, R. C. & Clearfield, A. (1996). Inorg. Chem. 35, 4950-4956.]).

Experimental

Vanadium pentoxide (0.1819 g), water (5 ml) and a 48% solution of HF (0.5 ml) were heated in a polypropyl­ene bottle at 373 K for 1 h. To the resulting yellow solution was added ethyl­ene glycol (5 ml). Finally, propane-1,3-diamine (0.5 ml) was added to give a green solution of pH 10. This was heated in a polypropyl­ene bottle at 373 K for 5 d. The pH remained constant over this time. The final product was isolated as dark-blue crystals, filtered off, washed in water and allowed to dry overnight at room temperature. Elemental analysis confirmed phase purity; found: C 8.34, H 2.21, N 6.41%; (C3H12N2)[V4O10] requires: C 8.19, H 2.75, N 6.37%. Additionally, powder X-ray diffraction of the product at room temperature confirmed that the bulk material was the new β polymorph, with no indication of the presence of the α polymorph.

The title compound, β-[H3N(CH2)3NH3][V4O10], (I), was prepared during a more general survey of the hydrothermal chemistry of vanadium in the presence of organic templating agents and HF (Aldous et al., 2006). Specifically, it arose from an attempt to prepare a structural analogue of an interesting polar material, [H3N(CH2)2NH3][VOF4(H2O)] (Stephens & Lightfoot, 2005). An α-polymorph of the same composition has been reported previously (Riou & Ferey, 1995). The different polymorphs arise from quite similar hydrothermal reactions, both employing HF, but the α-polymorph also included SiO2 in the reaction mixture and the synthesis was carried out at a higher temperature of 453 K and a lower pH of 4–5.

The α-form has similar unit-cell parameters to (I) [P21/n, a = 7. 9991 (1), b = 10.001 (1) and c = 15.703 (1) Å, and β = 100.49 (1)° at 298 K]. Although the structural units are the same in each case, the higher symmetry in (I) is perhaps encouraged by the additional symmetry within the organic moiety, which lies on a twofold axis in the β-form (Fig. 1). A projection of the unit cell of (I) along the c axis, together with the corresponding view for the α-form, is shown in Fig. 2.

This difference in interlayer hydrogen bonding is cooperative with a different stacking of adjacent vanadium oxide layers, such that the vanadyl bonds of the VO5 pyramids take up a `head-to-head' arrangement in the β-polymorph, in contrast with a `head-to-tail' configuration in the α-polymorph. This leads to a short interlayer O5···O5(Symmetry code?) contact of 2.77 Å in (I), which does not occur in the α-polymorph. We note that polymorphism has also been observed in two closely related compositions incorporating dications of ethylenediamine and piperazine (Zhang et al., 1996).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
