Epitactic ion-exchange reactions into vanadyl(IV) arsenate

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (United States)
The synthesis, structural characterization, thermal stability, and spectroscopic (IR, UV-vis-diffuse reflectance) properties of three vanadyl arsenates are described. Vanadyl(IV) bis(dihydrogenarsenate), (VO(H{sub 2}AsO{sub 4}){sub 2}) (1), lithium vanadyl arsenate, (Li{sub 4}VO(AsO{sub 4}){sub 2}{center dot}0.5H{sub 2}O) (2), and nickel(II) and lithium vanadyl arsenate, ((Li{sub 2.4}Ni){sub 0.8}VO(AsO{sub 4}){sub 2}{center dot}4H{sub 2}O) (3), have been prepared. (1) Tetragonal ({alpha} = 9.128 {angstrom}; c = 8.128 {angstrom}) is prepared by reduction with isobutanol or ethanol from vanadyl(V) arsenate. (2) Cubic (a = 9.024 {angstrom}) is obtained from (1) by lithium ion-exchange, and (3) tetragonal (a = 9.106 {angstrom}; c = 8.454 {angstrom}) is made from (2) by Ni{sup 2+} ion-exchange. These exchange reactions are epitactic and the overall result is a topotactic transformation.
