Abstract :
Partially substituted decavanadate in the title compound [NH4][Na2(H2O)10][V9.7W0.3O28] (1) has been obtained by adding ammonium chloride to the acidic reaction mixture. Single-crystal X-ray analysis shows that the ammonium ions pack in a zigzag fashion constructing a ribbon-like structure in the complex along the ac bisector which can be easily intercalated by sodium dimers to form layers. Finally, the last dimension in the hybrid crystalline network is formed by interactions which make the R44(22) graph set.
