Abstract
The structure of [Co(H2O)4][VO(PO4)]2 is composed of [VO(PO4)] layers and interlayer tetrahydrated Co2+ ions. Alternating VO5 square pyramids and PO4 tetrahedra share O-atom vertices, thus forming the vanadyl phosphate layers. Two vanadyl oxo groups from neighbouring layers are coordinated to each Co atom in a trans fashion, with Co—O distances of 2.157 (4) Å, thus generating a three-dimensional framework structure.
