Polyhedral structures vanadium phosphates

While compositionally the simplest of the inorganic phases, the vanadium phosphates with neutral V—P—O covalent structures display many of the structural motifs common to the larger family. Thus, ID, 2D, and 3D structures with a variety of polyhedral connectivities have been described. The layered neutral V/P/O phases have received considerable attention as precursors to the catalytically active (VO)2(P207) phase (36).
