Abstract:A new copper vanadyl arsenate, Cu(VO)2(AsO4)2, was synthesized via the chemical vapor transport
method.
Cu(VO)2(AsO4)2 adopts an original
structure type. It is characterized by layers formed by edge-sharing
and corner-sharing V-centered octahedra resulting in a unique topology
that was hitherto not reported for vanadates. Single CuO6 octahedra connect vanadate layers into a rigid framework. The thermal
expansion of the framework studied by the single-crystal HT X-ray
diffraction is reported. The magnetic behav… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
