Synthesis and structure of a new reduced isopolyvanadate, [V17O42](4-)
Reduced heptadecavanadate [V17O42](4-) has been synthesized from [H3V10O28](3-) by the reaction using palladium 1,5-COD complex, and characterized by a single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The structure can be regarded as a fused decavanadate and consists of an arrangement of thirteen edge shared VO6 octahedra and four VO5 square pyramids.
