Abstract

AbstractWe show that the conductivity of hybrid vanadium bronzes—mixed‐valence organic–inorganic vanadium oxides—can be tuned over six orders of magnitude through judicious choice of molecular component. By systematically varying the steric profile, charge density, and propensity to hydrogen bond across a series of eight diammonium‐based molecules, we engender multiple distinct motifs of V−O connectivity within the two‐dimensional vanadium oxide layers of a family of bulk crystalline hybrid materials. A combination of single‐crystal and powder X‐ray diffraction analysis, variable‐temperature electrical transport measurements, and a range of spectroscopic methods, including UV/Visible diffuse reflectance, X‐ray photoelectron, and electron paramagnetic resonance are employed to probe how vanadium oxide layer topology correlates with electron localization. Specifically, alkylammonium molecules yield hybrids featuring more corrugated layers that contain V−O tetrahedra as well as a higher ratio of corner‐sharing to edge‐sharing polyhedra and that exhibit highly localized electronic behavior, while alkyl bipyridinium molecules yield more regular layers with polyhedral edge‐sharing that show substantially delocalized electronic behavior. This work allows for the development of design principles based on structure–property relationships and brings the charge transport capabilities of hybrid vanadium bronzes to more technologically relevant levels.
