Ammonium vanadate, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, boric acidand 2-amino-4-methylpyridine (in molar ratio 0.5:1:1:2) were dissolved in H2O (50ml). The reaction mixture was placed in a Parr-Teflon lined stainless steel vessel. It was sealed and heated at 443K for 48 h. The reaction mixture was gradually cooled to room temperature. Pale yellow crystals were isolated from solution.
A water molecule is disordered over two positions (O7 and O8) with equal occupancies. The H atoms for this molecule were not located nor were they included in the refinement. They are however, included in the molecular formula. Hydrogen atoms bound to the water molecule O9 were refined using the following restraints: O—H bond length 0.95 (2) Å and H···H distance 1.50 (4) Å. All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C-H = 0.93 - 0.96Å and N-H = 0.86Å and were included in the refinement with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl)

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. |

The chemistry of polyoxovanadate compounds are of great interest. Hybrid organo-inorganic compounds based on vanadium oxides present potential applications in catalysis, electron conductivity, magnetism and photochemistry (Paredes-García et al., 2008). The VO4 group is an important building block of many polynuclear species. A well known example is the V4O124– ring which has an eight-membered ring structure formed by four VO4 tetrahedra sharing vertices (Nakano et al., 2002). The complexing ability of the V4O124– ion with transition metal ions is of great interest and the ring takes part as a ligand (Paredes-García et al., 2008). Herein we report the crystal structure of the title compound obtained as a side product from a reaction of ammonium vanadate, cobalt nitrate, boric acid and 2-Amino-4-methylpyridine.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (2a4mpH)4(V4O12).4H2O, comprises a half of a V4O124– anion, two (2a4mpH)+ cations and two solvent molecules of water (Fig. 1). One molecule of water is disordered over two positions (O7 and O8) with equal occupancies.
The V4O124– ion is centrosymmetric with four tetrahedral VO4units which share two vertices with each other to form an eight-membered ring. The 2-Amino-4-methylpyridine molecule is protonated via its endocyclic nitrogen atom. In the crystal, extensive intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions (Table 1) between cations, anions and solvent water molecules form 1-D motive chains along [100] (Fig.2). The crystal packing is defined by a layered structure in which chains involving 2a4mpH+ and V4O124– ions are associated via π–π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of (2a4mpH)+ cations into layers parallel to (110) (Fig. 3).
