Figure 1
(a) Axial view, (b) plane view and (c) displacement ellipsoid plot, including the asymmetric unit, of the C2/c phase of volborthite. Octa­hedral and tetra­hedral polyhedra coordinated to Cu and V atoms, respectively, are displayed. CuO6 octa­hedra form kagome layers separated by V2O7 pillars and solvent water mol­ecules. The layer contains a distorted kagome lattice made up of CuII ions, represented by thick lines in (b). Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level in (c). [Symmetry codes: (i) −x + [{1\over 2}], −y + [{1\over 2}], −z; (ii) −x, −y, −z; (iii) x − [{1\over 2}], y − [{1\over 2}], z; (iv) x, y − 1, z, (v) −x, −y + 1, −z; (vi) −x + [{1\over 2}], −y + [{3\over 2}], −z.]
