A novel organically templated three-dimensional open framework vanadium tellurite: (NH3CH2CH2NH3)2V2Te6O18

A novel organically templated vanadium tellurite (NH3CH2CH2NH3)2V2Te6O18 (1) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, thermal stability analysis, magnetic susceptibilities and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group image, image, image, image, image, image, image, image, image. Compound 1 exhibits a novel three-dimensional (3D) vanadium tellurite anion framework composed of vanadium, tellurium, and oxygen atoms through covalent bonds, with the [NH3CH2CH2NH3]2+ cations residing in the channels.
