Topotactic lithium exchange in the precursor catalyst VOHPO[sub 4][center dot]0. 5H[sub 2]O: The crystal structure of LiVOPO[sub 4][center dot]0. 5 H[sub 2]O

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (United States)
The synthesis and properties of a new lithium vanadyl(IV) phosphate, LiVOPO[sub 4][center dot]0.5H[sub 2]O, are reported. The synthesis was carried out by a lithium exchange reaction in VO(HPO[sub 4])[center dot]0.5H[sub 2]O with LiOH at low temperature in a nonaqueous medium. The crystal structure of LiVOPO[sub 4][center dot]0.5H[sub 2]O (space group P[sub 2[sub 1]2[sub 1]2], a = 7.4651(6) [Angstrom], b = 9.4167(8) [Angstrom], c = 6.0762(6) [Angstrom], Z = 4) was refined by the Rietveld method from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data, giving R[sub wp] = 8.0% and R[sub F] = 6.5%. The structure is made up of layers made of VO[sub 6] dimers which are linked by phosphate groups. The framework of the starting material is maintained but the vanadium coordination sphere is more distorted and the lithium position is deduced from a difference Fourier map. The structural, thermal, and spectroscopic features are compared to those of the closely related H-derivative. 27 refs., 8 figs., 3 tabs.
