The first polyoxoalkoxovanadium germanate anion with a novel cage-like structure: solvothermal synthesis and characterization
Abstract
The first example of polyoxoalkoxovanadium germanate, (NH4)2[H2V9Ge6O26(L)6]·0.65H2O (H2L = HOCH2CH2OH), was solvothermally synthesized, and its polyanion is made up of six VO6 octahedra, three VO5 square pyramids and six GeO4 tetrahedra with six bridging
