Inorganic–organic hybrids derived from oxovanadium sulfate motifs: synthesis and characterization of [VIVO(μ3-SO4)(2,2′-bpy)] ∞

Abstract

The hydrothermal reaction of V₂O₅, V₂O₃, 2,2′-bpy and Na₂SO₄ in dilute sulfuric acid yields a novel hybrid, [V^IVO(μ₃-SO₄)(2,2′-bpy)] _∞, which demonstrates the potential of constructing a new class of robust composite solids composed of a {V/O/SO₄}-based framework decorated with organic functionalities by combining appropriate vanadyl sulfate motifs with a variety of organic ligands.
