Hydrothermal synthesis and structure of [Ni(en)(2)V6O14](n)

A new complex [Ni (en)(2)V6O14](n) was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by 2-dimensional vanadium oxide framework pillared by Ni(en)(2)group. Single crystal X-ray analysis indicates that this compound crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/c with a=0. 892 17(18) nm, b = 1. 711 1(3) nm, c=0. 662 73(13) nm, beta=111. 58(3)degrees, V=0.940 8(3) nm(3), Z=2, D-c=2.501 g/cm(3), R=0. 042 3, omegaR=0. 060 9, S=1. 006.
