[{{Zn(en)(2)}(2)As6V15O42(H2O}(12){Zn(en)(2)}]center dot 2Hen center dot 3H(2)O. The first dimeric arsenic-vanadium cluster linked by Zn(en)(2) complex bridge
The hydrothermal reaction of VOSO4, As2O3, ZnCl2, en (ethylenediamine), HCl, and H2O produces [{{Zn(en)(2)}(2)-As6V15O42(H2O)}(2){Zn(en)(2)}].2Hen.3H(2)O, which is the first dimeric As-V-O cluster linked by transition metal complex bridge. The structure of this compound was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, EPR, TGA, and IR spectrum.
