NH₄V₃O₈: a novel sinusoidal layered compound formed by the cation templating effect

Abstract

V₂O₅ reacts with aqueous NH₃ under hydrothermal conditions to give a novel sinusoidal layered compound NH₄V₃O₈; the structure features weak hydrogen bonds between the V₃O₈^– layers and the NH₄⁺ cations that occupy the interlayer space.
