The three-dimensional network structure of the title compound (arsenic
caesium vanadium oxide) comprises VO5 pyramids and (As,V)(2)O-7 group
s sharing corners to form puckered layers. The layers are linked to ea
ch other by chains of VO6 octahedra. The framework exhibits large tunn
els parallel to the b axis interconnected with other smaller tunnels w
hich are parallel to the c axis. The Cs+ ions are located at the inter
sections of these tunnels. Cs2V3(As0.635V0.365)(4)O-17 is isostructura
l with Cs2V3P4O17 [Lii et al. (1989). J. Solid State Chem. 80, 127-132
].
