Layered Heterometallic Vanadates Charge Density Matching

Layered Heterometallic Vanadates Charge Density Matching 

While it is convenient to write the charges on the copper and vanadate layers as 2+12- per formula unit, this conceals a more accurate and valuable way of describing the formal charge and understanding the stmcture. To understand why this

Layered Heterometallic Vanadates Charge Density Matching... 

The charge densities and compositions of many known solids with VxOy layers were screened for possible charge density matches with M(pyz)x (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) layers [35, 52], as an aid in the synthesis of new heterometallic multilayered vanadates. Close matches were found with M(pyz)x (M = Fe, Co, Ni) coordination polymers, ranging from 0.022/A -0.053/A, and which might suitably form in the presence of the flexible types of V2O5 layers. For example, Co(pyz) layers of chains in Co(pyz)(V03)2 [53] have a charge density of...
