Solid‐State Coordination Chemistry: Hydrothermal Synthesis of Layered Vanadium Oxides with Interlayer Metal Coordination Complexes

A new class of solid-state materials are the hydrothermally synthesized compounds (L2M)y[VOx] (L = bidentate amine, M = Cu or Zn), which combine mixed-valence vanadium oxide layers with interlamellar coordination complexes. A section of the crystal structure of one example of these compounds with M = Cu and L = ethylenediamine is shown on the right.
