Abstract:
Three new vanadyl gallium phosphates, (H(2)dap)(3)[(VO)(2)(GaO)(2)(PO(4))(4)].H(2)O (1), (H(2)dap)(1.5)[(VO)(2)(GaO)(2)(PO(4))(3)].3H(2)O (2), and (H(2)dap)[(VO)(2)Ga(4)(PO(4))(6)(H(2)O)(4)].2H(2)O (3) (dap = 1,3-diaminopropane), have been prepared under mild solvothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and EPR spectroscopy. They are the first examples of an organic/V(4+)/Ga/P/O system that displays three different dimensional structures with a common template. The 1D chain structure of 1 and the 2D layered 2 are both built up with a PO(4) and {V(2)Ga(2)O(14)} cluster which contains a syn-square pyramidal {V(2)O(8)} dimer and two GaO(4) tetrahedra. The tetrameric cluster and V-O-Ga therein are observed in a metal phosphate system. Compound 3 is composed of VO(5)(H(2)O) octahedra, GaO(4)(H(2)O) trigonal bipyramids, and GaO(4) and PO(4) tetrahedra from which a unique 3D structure containing one-dimensional 12-ring channels is constructed. The channel aperture uncommonly comprises heterometal (V, Ga) polyhedra. Magnetic susceptibility data for 1-3 are consistent with V(4+) and show a T(N) of 12 K for 3. The unusual syn-{V(2)O(8)} dimers in 1 and 2 induce superexchange interactions, while isolated VO(5)(H(2)O) octahedra in 3 display super-super-exchange interaction. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra with (51)V hyperfine structures were distinctly observed at 300 K for 1, while they started emerging at 30 K for 2 and 7 K for 3. The average hyperfine constant, 85.56 Gauss, was obtained via spectral simulations and nonlinear least-squares fittings for 1 and 2. Crystal data for 1 are triclinic, P1, a = 9.1754(4) A, b = 10.7853(5) A, c = 15.6519(7) A, alpha = 93.251(1) degrees , beta = 92.530(1) degrees , gamma = 95.106(1) degrees , V = 1538.4(1) A(3), and Z = 2; for 2, monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 8.9195(3) A, b = 14.6374(5) A, c = 17.8608(6) A, beta = 97.272(1) degrees , V = 2313.1(1) A(3), and Z = 4; and for 3, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 9.0970(5) A, b = 16.9940(9) A, c = 9.6441(5) A, beta = 103.456(3) degrees , V = 1450.0(1) A(3), and Z = 4.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
