A layered vanadium arsenate network decorated with the directly coordinated organonitrogen ligands: [V4O7(HAsO4)2(o-phen)2] (o-phen=o-phenanthroline)
Introduction
Polyoxovanadates have been attracting extensive interest in solid state materials chemistry owing to their interesting structural features and various potential applications in catalysis, electron conductivity, magnetism and photochemistry [1], [2], [3], [4]. In this field, an important advance recently is the modification of inorganic vanadium oxides with various organic ligands and transition metal complexes or fragments. Based on this strategy, a large number of new compounds have been synthesized and structurally characterized in the V–P–O system [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. They exhibit varieties of novel frameworks and have potential applications in catalysis and materials science [11], [12]. In contrast to abundant compounds in the {V/P/O} system, the {V/As/O} system remains relatively undeveloped. In the past years, reports have been concentrated on the discrete vanadium arsenate clusters [13], [14], [15], for example, the K6[As6V15O42(H2O)]·8H2O [13] and anionic porous skeletons such as MVOAsO4 (M=Na, Li, NH4) [16] and [Cs3(VO)2(V2O3)(AsO4)(HAsO4)2] [17]. Recently, the introduction of hydrothermal technique and the use of organic templating agents have led to the production of some vanadium arsenate phases with two-dimensional (2D) layer-like and 3D porous structures, such as [H2NC4H8NH2][(VO)2(HAsO4)2(H2AsO4)2] [18] and [AsVIV8VV2O26(H2O)]·8H2O [19], in which the organic templates act as counter cations or structural filling agents. To the best of our knowledge, vanadium arsenate complexes containing organic components functioning as ligands coordinated directly to the vanadium arsenate backbone or to the secondary metal centers are rare. Since vanadium-oxide-phosphates system exhibits extensive coordination chemistry with the organic ligands, the solids constructed from {V/As/O} system may also have the feasibility for the incorporation of appropriate organic ligand moieties. This offers opportunities for preparing novel organic–inorganic hybrid materials containing inorganic {V/As/O} scaffoldings decorated with organic ligand functional units.
In this work we report on the hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a novel organic–inorganic hybrid vanadium arsenate, [V4O7(HAsO4)2(o-phen)2] 1 (o-phen=o-phenanthroline). Compound 1 contains an unusual 2D {V/As/O} skeleton with the o-phen fragments coordinated directly to the inorganic layer. To the best of our knowledge, 1 represents the first example of 2D inorganic vanadium arsenate backbone decorated with the directly coordinated organic ligands.

General procedures
All chemicals were commercially purchased and used without further purification. Elemental analyses (C, H and N) were performed on a Perkin-Elmer 2400 CHN Elemental Analyzer. V and As were determined by a Leaman inductively coupled plasma spectrometer. ESR spectrum was recorded on a Japanese JES-FE3AX spectrometer at 293 K. XPS analysis was performed on a VG ESCALABMK II spectrometer with an MgKα (1253.6 eV) achromatic X-ray source. The vacuum inside the analysis chamber was maintained at 6.2×10−6
Results and discussion
The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that compound 1 consists of a novel vanadium arsenate layer directly coordinated with o-phen ligands. The basic unit of compound 1 (see Fig. 1) shows the coordination environment around the vanadium and arsenic atoms. There are two crystallographically independent V atoms in this structure. The V(1) site exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry with a terminal oxygen and three bridging oxygens which are linked with V(1), V(2),

2005, Solid State SciencesCitation Excerpt :The coordination of each As center is defined by two terminal oxo groups (As(1)O(6): 1.713(2) Å, As(1)O(7): 1.655(2) Å), and two bridging oxygen donors from each of two V(2)O4N2 groups (As(1)O(4): 1.713(2), As(1)O(5): 1.664(2) Å). The terminal As(1)O(6) bond length is obviously longer than the other terminal As(1)O(7) bond length, indicating that the O(6) site is protonated which is consistent with reported literatures [21,32]. In addition, the hydrogen atom that is bonded to O(6) was located in the difference Fourier map.
