In the present research account, three new binary hybrid decavanadate compounds were synthesized. In these three complexes, vanadium occurs in the fully oxidized +5 state and the color of the crystals is orange-red. In the synthesis of the crystalline solids, the reaction mixture pH appears to be a major factor in the synthetic isolation and crystallization of the specific compound exhibiting variable lattices. Spectroscopic, structural and electrochemical characterization techniques, and biological studies currently in progress reveal a) the unique properties of the variably crystallized olyoxovanadatebetaine binary lattice structures, and b) attest to their potential in physiological functions of pharmacological significance.
