description: (VCo2(PO6)2)2N2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two ammonia molecules and one VCo2(PO6)2 framework. In the VCo2(PO6)2 framework, there are two inequivalent V5+ sites. In the first V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted VO6 octahedra that share corners with four CoO6 octahedra and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra.
