ABSTRACT

The complex (LutH)2[V2F6O2(H2O)2] was prepared from aqueous HF solution of VO2+ and lutidine. The X-ray structure revealed dimeric anions connected to the chain by hydrogen bonds. The effect of the cation and intraionic hydrogen bonds on the stability of the bioctahedral anion is discussed.
