Oe. Piro et Ej. Baran, THE CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF AMMONIUM-BIS(MALONATO) OXOVANADIUM(IV) DIHYDRATE, Journal of chemical crystallography, 27(8), 1997, pp. 475-479
The title compound, (NH4)(2)[VO(C3H2O4)(2)]. 2H(2)O, crystallizes in t
he monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, with a = 7.1889(7), b = 19.254(2),
c = 9.879(2) Angstrom, beta = 108.19(1)degrees, and Z = 4. The VO2+ ca
tion is five-fold coordinated with two malonate anions acting as biden
tate ligands and a water molecule. Infrared and Raman spectra are also
reported to attain a wider insight into the compound characteristics.
