Heteropolyoxo vanadium compounds containing molecular anions and their structure

摘要

A solid composition of matter comprising heteropolyoxo vanadium oxide compounds of the general formula: (R'4N)xHy (VOb)a(RQO3)-nH2O) wherein (VOb)a(RQO3) is a molecular anion; R' is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent organic group covalently bound to nitrogen to form a tetraorgano ammonium cation (R'4N); R is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent organic group covalently bound to Q to form an organophosphorus or organoarsenous group; R and R' are selected from the group consisting of C1-C20 alkyl, aryl, hetero alkyl, hetero aryl or mixtures thereof; Q is a phosphorus or arsenic atom; a is about 1.0 to about 3.0; b is about 1.0 to about 2.0; (x+y) are determined by the vanadium oxidation state (m) where (x+y) equals (2ab+2)-ma and where (x+y) and x can not equal zero; and n is zero or a positive number.
