Two new vanadium-tungsten oxide hydrates of the formulas, H0.125V0.125
W0.875O3.1.5H2O (I) and Ho.33V0.33W0.67O3.1/3H2O (II), have been synth
esized by acid-leaching of LiVWO6 with aqueous HNO3/HCl. While phase I
obtained by treatment of LiVWO6 with dilute HNO3/HCl possesses an ort
horhombic structure (a = 7.77(3), b = 13.87(6), c = 7.44(3) angstrom)
related to WO3.2H2O, phase II, prepared by refluxing LiVWO6 with conce
ntrated HNO3, is isostructural with WO3.1/3H2O. Dehydration of II arou
nd 330-degrees-C yields a hexagonal phase (III, a = 7.25(4), c = 7.74(
3) angstrom) isotypic with hexagonal WO3. Both land III exhibit redox
and acid-base intercalation reactivity characteristic of layered and t
unnel structures.
