E. Chinea et al., Synthesis and characterization of (NH4)(4)[H4V10O28][NTPH2](2)center dot 4H(2)O (NTPH3 = N(CH2CH2COOH)(3)), INORG CHIM, 298(2), 2000, pp. 172-177
Reaction of (NH4)VO3 with NTPH3 (=N(CH2CH2COOH)(3)) in water, at controlled
pH, allowed the synthesis of (NH4)(4)[H4V10O28][NTPH2](2). 4H(2)O salt, wh
ich has been characterized by spectroscopic measurements (NMR), electrospra
y mass spectrometry (ESMS) and X-ray diffraction studies. The structure is
strongly stabilized by an extensive network of hydrogen bonding interaction
s which involve the tetraprotonated decavanadate anion, NTPH2 ligand anions
, ammonium cations and solvent water molecules. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S
