New materials built from the [V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}]{sup 4−} anionic basic-building-unit (BBU) exhibit interesting magnetic properties owing to the proximity of the two d{sup 1} V(IV) cations and the orbital interactions of fluoride and oxide ligands. In our search to target such materials, the vanadium oxide–fluoride compound [dpaH{sub 2}]{sub 2}[V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}] in which a dimeric anion [V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}]{sup 4−} is isolated in a hydrogen bond network was hydrothermally synthesized (dpa=2,2′-dipyridylamine). This hydrogen bond network is able to stabilize the highly ionic species [V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}]{sup 4−} as demonstrated with bond valence calculations. The coordination of the O{sup 2−}/F{sup −} ordered ligands was investigated and antiferromagnetic coupling of the isolated BBU was measured. - The new hybrid compound [dpaH{sub 2}]{sub 2}[V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}] built from the interesting [V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}]{sup 4−} magnetic basic-building-unit (BBU) was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The coordination of the O{sup 2−}/F{sup −} ordered ligands was investigated by BVS calculations and antiferromagnetic coupling was measured. Highlights: ► A new vanadium oxyfluoride was synthesized by hydrothermal method. ► The Dimeric [V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}]{sup 4−} basic building unit is isolated in the hydrogen bond networks. ► The coordination of [V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}]{sup 4−} units to the extended structure is investigated. ► Isolated [V{sub 2}O{sub 2}F{sub 8}]{sup 4−} units exhibit antiferromagnetic coupling.
