onstruction of Two Inorganic-organic Hybrid Vanadogermanates Based on Di-Cd-Substituted Ge-V-O Cluster and Transition-metal Complex Bridges

wo new inorganic-organic hybrid vanadogermanates H[Cd(en)(phen)(H2O)][Cd(en)(phen)]{[Cd(phen)]2[Ge8V12O41(OH)7]}?H2O (1) and [Cd(dien)2][Cd(dien)]2{[Cd(phen)]2Ge8V12O42(H2O)(OH)6}?.5H2O (2) (en = ethylenediamine, dien = diethylenetriamine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized by hydrothermal method. Their structures were measured by single-crystal X-ray diffractions, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffractions and infrared spectra. Structural analysis reveals that compound 1 is an infrequent dimeric structure based on di-Cd-substituted Ge-V-O cluster and transition-metal complex bridges, while compound 2 is an infinite 1-D chain constructed from di-Cd-substituted Ge-V-O clusters and dinuclear bridging complexes. Magnetic measurement indicated that both 1 and 2 exhibit antiferromagnetic behaviors.
