The title compound, Cd2V2O7, was obtained under hydrothermal conditions. Different from the known monoclinic form, the new polymorph of Cd2V2O7 has triclinic symmetry and is isotypic with Ca2V2O7. The building units of the crystal structure are two Cd2+ cations, with coordination numbers of six and seven, and two V atoms with a tetrahedral and a significantly distorted trigonal–pyramidal coordination environment, respectively. Two VO5 pyramids share an edge and each pyramid is connected to one VO4 tetrahedron via a corner atom, forming an isolated V4O14
8− anion. These anions are arranged in sheets parallel to (-211) and are linked through the Cd2+ cations into a three-dimensional framework structure.
NaMg3(PO4)(HPO4)2 crystallizes in the alluaudite-type structure. Two types of [MgO6] octahedra, one [NaO10] polyhedron, one orthophosphate and one hydrogenphosphate tetrahedron form the structural set-up.
The two orthophosphates, Na1.85Mg1.85In1.15(PO4)3 and Ag1.69Mg1.69In1.31(PO4)3 adopt alluaudite-type structures. Edge-sharing [(In,Mg)O6] octahedra are linked together by PO4 tetrahedra, leaving channels in which the Na+ or Ag+ cations are situated..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
