A new three-dimensional 4, 6-connected self-catenated net constructed from the [V8O23]6− polyoxoanions and metal–organic polymer

A new cobalt–vanadium composite solid, Co3(btx)5(H2O)V8O23 1 (btx = 1,4-bis(triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene) has been synthesized. Compound 1 exhibits a novel three-dimensional (3D) 4, 6-connected self-catenated net constructed from novel [V8O23]6− building blocks and the {Co3(btx)5(H2O)2}6+ 3D metal–organic cation polymer. The magnetic study and electronic property of 1 have also been investigated.
