“…There has been much work performed on vanadium oxide frameworks using the tetramethylammonium ion (tma) as a template which also often functions as the counter-ion. In layered vanadium oxides, such as tmaV 4 O 10 (Zavalij et al, 1996), tmaV 3 O 7 (Zavalij et al, 1997), tmaV 8 O 20 (Chirayil et al, 1997) and others, the tma ion also plays the role of a separator, which keeps the layers from collapsing and thus stabilizes the structure. This work presents the crystal structure of the novel title compound, (I), of tma and vanadium oxide, with the additional presence of sulfate groups as part of the framework.…”
