RESUMO

Vanadium compounds are intensively studied due to their electrochemical, catalytic, magnetic and biological properties. In this work, our goal was to investigate the VOPO4.2H2O (vanadyl phosphate), which has a lamellar structure formed by VOPO4 sheets interconnected by weak interactions. Taking advantage of this structure, it is possible to synthesize several different intercalation compounds in which the guest species can vary from simple ions to polymeric species. The morphology of VOPO4.2H2O is very sensitive to temperature and time of reaction changes. By varying both parameters, several lamellar matrices have been synthesized. X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and scanning electronic microscopy showed that depending on the synthetic conditions the arrangements VOPO4.2H2O can change the shape. For instance, in one of the experiments, a rose-like structure was produced, suggesting the presence of VOHPO40.5H2O phase, precursor of (VO)2P2O7 phase, which acts as oxidation catalyst of the n-butane to maleic anhydride. Intercalation of lanthanide ions leads to lamellar solids with low crystallinity in relation to the matrix due to octahedric distortion caused by reduction of vanadium ions (VV to VIV). Besides, it was observed a decrease of the interlamellar distance in function of the electroneutrality balance between the lamellar sheets. Intercalation compounds were produced by reacting surfactants molecules directly with the matrix under hydrothermal conditions. Surfactant-assisted intercalation of poly(ethylene oxide) into VOPO4.2H2O was conducted under soft conditions with the surfactant/matrix compound as a suspension in an aqueous polymer solution.
