Preparation and Probable Structure of Layered Complexes of Vanadyl Phosphate with 1-Alkanols and 1,omega-Alkanediols.

The direct reaction of liquid (or melted solid) 1-alkanols or 1,omega-alkanediols with solid finely ground VOPO(4). 2H(2)O in a microwave field leads to layered complexes of the composition VOPO(4).2C(n)()H(2)(n)()(+1)OH (n = 1-18) or VOPO(4).
