RbVO3 was prepared by the decomposition of stoichiometric amounts of Rb2CO3 in the presence of V2O5 in air. The resulting single-phased RbVO3 powder and V2O3 were mixed in the molar proportion 2:1 and an excess quantity of SiO2 was added. The mixture was sealed in an evacuated SiO2 glass ampoule and heated in a furnace at 1123 K for 5 d, followed by subsequent furnace cooling. From the dark-grey powder obtained, blue to green plate-shaped crystals were isolated, which were then analysed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction on a Stoe IPDS II image-plate diffractometer.
During refinement, high maximal/minimal residual electron densities of circa ±1.5 e Å-3 were observed. The highest peak was located very close to the Rb1 site. When a split position Rb1' was introduced, expressing the partial disorder of the Rb1 site, the residual electron density was reduced substantially to circa ±0.6 e Å-3. The sum of the occupancies of the Rb1 and Rb1' sites was restrained to be equal to 1 and they refined to values of 0.809 (4) and 0.191 (4), respectively. The anisotropic displacement parameters of the two sites were restrained to be equal.

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. |

Low-dimensional VIV and mixed-valent VIV,V compounds are of great interest because of their peculiar magnetic properties, as evidenced by the two-dimensional spin-gap compound CaV4O9 (Taniguchi et al., 1995) or the Spin–Peierls system α-NaV2O5 (Smolinski et al., 1998). Among the few known silicates containing VIV, Li2(VO)SiO4 has been considered an ideal example of a frustrated two-dimensional square-lattice antiferromagnet (Millet & Satto, 1998). Likewise, few anhydrous double-layer silicates have been reported, among them the CuII-bearing compounds of general formula A2Cu2[Si8O19] (A = Rb, Cs) (Heinrich & Gramlich, 1982; Watanabe & Kawahara, 1993). These two isomorphous compounds crystallize in the space group P21/m. The staggered silicate double layers consist of corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra, with (Cu2O6)8- dimers (formed by two tetrahedrally distorted square-planar edge-sharing CuO4 units) interleaved between adjacent double layers.
The title vanadyl compound, (I) (Figs. 1–3), is related to the copper phases but differs in certain key respects. Firstly, it crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric space group Pmc21, and secondly, the silicate double layers of the vanadyl compound are linked differently from those in the copper compounds. In both structures, each single sheet can be described in terms of rings of six corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra which link adjacent single sheets into a double layer (Figs. 1 and 3). Two crystallographically distinct silicate rings can be distinguished in the title compound. In the first kind of silicate ring, five of the six SiO4 tetrahedra are bonded to neighbouring SiO4 tetrahedra in the bc plane; only the Si4O4 tetrahedra of adjacent silicate layers share corners and link the sheets into a double layer. In the second kind of silicate ring, there are two Si4O4 tetrahedra per ring that link adjacent silicate sheets. In the copper compounds, in contrast, there is only one type of six-membered ring, with two linking SiO4 tetrahedra in neighbouring positions.
In the title compound, [V2O8]8- dimers of edge-sharing VO5 pyramids, replacing the (Cu2O6)8- dimers, link adjacent silicate double layers (Fig. 1). The two independent V atoms occupy special positions of site symmetry m. The square-pyramidal oxygen coordination, with one short vanadyl bond and four basal V—O bonds that are almost equal in length, is typical of VIV (Schindler et al., 2000). The pyramidal bases are inclined with respect to each other around the common O5—O5ii edge [symmetry code: (ii) -x, y, z]; the apices show a syn-orthogonal arrangement (Plass, 1996), i.e. they both point to the same side of the dimeric unit, which has rarely been observed in other substances (Fig. 2). The V1—O12i and V2—O12i distances [symmetry code: (i) -x, -y + 1, z - 1/2] between the apical O atom of the (V2)O5 pyramid and its next V1 and V2 neighbours along c are longer than the value of 2.6 Å which is usually considered the upper limit for a valid V—O distance of the trans bonds in the [1 + 4+1] coordination (Schindler et al., 2000). Therefore, the V coordination is discussed in terms of VO5 pyramids sharing edges rather than distorted VO6 octahedra sharing faces.
The disordered Rb1/Rb1' ions are located in between the dimers in channels parallel to c, while the Rb2 ions are enclosed within the double layers. In a projection onto the bc plane, they can be seen to occupy the channels formed by the six-tetrahedron silicate rings parallel to a in a zigzag manner (Fig. 3). Rb1/Rb1' are partially disordered sites that are tenfold coordinated by O, with Rb—O distances ranging from 2.849 (4) to 3.585 (4) Å and from 2.837 (7) to 3.366 (6) Å, respectively. The Rb2 site is 12-fold coordinated by O (distorted hexagonal prism), with Rb—O distances in the range 3.087 (3)–3.352 (3) Å.
