Abstract

A new sodium vanadate solid comprising hexameric Na₆ cluster, (Na₆F(H₂O)₁₈)[(VO₄)₂]·2H₃O·2HF (1), was synthesized for the first time. Material 1 was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). 1 crystallizes in the cubic system with space group Fd-3c and the crystal comprises two orthovanadate (VO₄) units, one hexameric sodium [Na₆F(H₂O)₁₈] cluster, two hydrogen fluoride (HF) molecules, and two oxonium (H₃O) cations. In the crystal, the four moieties interact with each other through extensive O−H∙∙∙O and O−H∙∙∙F hydrogen bonding interactions to give rise to a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. The discrete structure of 1 can be transformed to an infinite three-dimensional network of β-NaVO₃ phase via thermally induced solid-state reactivity.
