- The physical properties of the family of cyclotetravanadates A(2)M(VO3)(4), where A=Na,Ag and M=Ca,Sr, have been studied by means of x-ray powder diffraction, neutron diffraction, electron diffraction, infrared, Raman, NMR, photoexcitation and pulse cathode beam excitation, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, and band structure calculations. The differences between the structural, vibrational, luminescence, and electronic properties of the alkali metal-containing [Na2Ca(VO3)(4) and Na2Sr(VO3)(4)] and the d metal-containing cyclotetravanadates [Ag2Ca(VO3)(4) and Ag2Sr(VO3)(4)] are analyzed. Na2Ca(VO3)(4), Ag2Ca(VO3)(4), Na2Sr(VO3)(4), and Ag2Sr(VO3)(4) have tetragonal structures, P4/nbm, with a=10.438 49(6), 10.445 24(5), 10.634 49(4), and 10.625 74(6), and c=4.938 73(5), 4.968 45(5), 4.962 05(4), and 4.979 30(4) angstrom, respectively. The main structural feature of A(2)M(VO3)(4) is the tetracyclic [V4O12] units. The hybridized O 2p-V 3d states of the tetracyclic [V4O12] units have a dominant influence on the electronic structure of these compounds. The compounds are semiconducting with a local density approximation band gap increasing, from 1.85 eV for Ag2Ca(VO3)(4) to 3.02 eV for Na2Ca(VO3)(4). The prospects of these compounds as advanced materials for detectors of photon and corpuscular radiation as well as for color correction of light emission sources such as lamp and light emitting diode sources are discussed.

- By the hydration of MVO(SeO(4))(2) with saturated water vapors at room temperature a series of isostructural complex compounds of vanadium(V) of the composition M[VO(2)(SeO(4))(H(2)O)(2)]center dot H(2)O (K, Rb, NH(4)) are synthesized and their physicochemical properties are studied. Based on the X-ray and neutron diffraction data, it is found that their crystal structure is composed of VO(6) octahedra linked in infinite chains by bridging SeO(4) tetrahedra. Each of the VO(6) octahedra has two short terminal V-O bonds forming a bent dioxovanadium group VO(2)(+). Two water molecules are coordinated by vanadium and one molecule is out of the first coordination sphere in the interchain space. The vibrational spectra of the studied compounds are completely consistent with their structural features.

- Monophasic NaxNbO2 (x = 0.5 - 0.6), T-c approximate to 4.1 K was prepared by solid state reaction between Na3NbO4 and Nb. X-ray powder diffraction data from a monophasic sample were used for a refinement of the structure of Na0.5NbO2 (R(p) = 7.4 % and R(I) = 5.3 %), using the Rietveld method. At low x-values a closely related second phase can occur. Rietveld refinement using X-ray powder diffraction data showed this phase to be isostructural with NaNbO2 but with the chemical formula Na0.1NbO2. Transmission electron microscopy studies of NaxNbO2 and LixNbO2 revealed the presence of superstructures in some crystallites. The electron diffraction patterns resemble to some extent those reported for transformations among tantalum chalcogenides.

- Sr4−xNb17O26 (x=0.0, 0.3) and Eu4−xNb17O26 (x = 0.3) were synthesised from SrCO3/Eu2O3 and Nb2O5 in a vacuum furnace at temperatures up to 1600°C (1500°C for Eu) using acetylene soot or Nb as reducing agents. The synthetic studies show that these phases are only formed via an intermediate disordered ‘phase’ (or phasoid). Sr4−xNb17O26 and Eu4−xNb17O26 are isostructural with Ba4Nb17O26 and crystallise in space group P 4/m (83) with the unit cell parameters for and and , respectively. The crystal structure can be described as an intergrowth between ANbO3 and NbO. Characteristic building blocks are quadruple chains of corner-sharing Nb6-octahedra. ?The structures of Sr4−xNb17O26 and Eu4−xNb17O26 were refined using X-ray powder diffraction and neutron diffraction data (only Sr4−xNb17O26). The Rietveld refiniments and microanalyses showed x in Eu4−xNb17O26 to be 0.3(l) while the Sr analogue both x= 0.0(1) and 0.3(1) were found. High resolution electron microscopy studies showed that the compounds frequently contained structural defects. The magnetic susceptibility of Eu4−xNb17O26 (x=0.3) shows a Curie-Weiss behaviour, with a magnetic moment in good agreement with the expected μeff=7.9 μB for Eu2+/ The Sr analogie is temperature-independent paramagnetic at room temperature, Sr4−xNb17O26 (x=0.3) and Eu4−xNb17O26 (x=0.3) are metallic, with a resistivity increasing with temperature.
