Magnetic properties of vanadium(IV)-based extended systems: [(VO)3(μ-PO4)2(2,2′-bpy)(μ-OH2)]*1/3H2O and (VO)2H4P2O9

International audience; The magnetic properties of [(VO)3(μ-PO4)2(2,2′-bpy)(μ-OH2)]1/3H2O (1) and (VO)2H4P2O9 (2), a tubular and a layered vanadium(IV) phosphates containing triply oxido bridged VIV dimers, are analyzed considering the Bleaney-Bowers S = 1/2 dimer model. In compound 1 the presence of an additional VIV connected with the VIV dimers through μ1,2-PO43− bridges is described with a Curie-Weiss type correction. This model reproduces the magnetic properties of compound 1 with g = 1.956, Jdim = −102.1 cm−1, θ = −0.4 cm−1 and Nα = 278 × 10−6 emu mol−1. In compound 2, the presence of a small percentage of paramagnetic impurity has to be considered to account for the divergence of χm …
