Materials Data on V2Co(H4O5)2 by Materials Project
H4CoO8V2(H2O)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight water molecules and one H4CoO8V2 framework. In the H4CoO8V2 framework, V5+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.68–2.06 Å. Co2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.17 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent V5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Co2+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Co2+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Co2+ and two H1+ atoms.
