Abstract
Two sodium vanadium phosphates, synthetic analogues of the minerals kosnarite, Na3V2(PO4)3, and yurmarinite, Na7V4(PO4)6, were obtained by hydrothermal synthesis simulating a natural hydrothermal solution. While the Na3V2(PO4)3 phase belongs to the NASICON family and is well-known for its high-ionic conductivity, the new Na7V4(PO4)6 compound is a rare case of V2+-containing oxosalts, which are hard to prepare due to their instability in air. Here we report the crystal structure of heterovalent vanadium phosphate studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction, XANES spectroscopy, and topological ion migration modelling. A discussion of divalent vanadium compounds of both natural and synthetic origin is also given, with a review of the methods for their synthesis and a comparative analysis of V–O bond lengths.
