Abstract
Turquoise crystals of a new hydroxylammonium compound with the formula NH4(NH3OH)2[VOF5]
have been synthesized by the reaction of solid NH3OHF and the aqueous
solution of vanadium in HF. The compound crystallizes monoclinic, P21/n,
with cell parameters: a = 10.5658(2) Å, b = 6.6143(1) Å, c
= 11.6618(2) Å, β= 96.282(1). Magnetic susceptibility was measured using
a SQUID device over a temperature range 2–300 K at magnetic field 103
Oe giving the result µeff = 1.65 BM. The thermal decomposition was
studied by TG and DSC analysis. NH4(NH3OH)2[OF5V]
decomposes above 354 K in three steps, obtaining NH4VOF3
after the first step and V2O5 as the final residue.
