Hydrothermal synthesis provides new vanadium borophosphates. BP2O10 trimers and V2O8 dimers are connected by common oxygen atoms to give a building unit of composition (VO)2BP2O10. Four-, five-, and six-rings are formed by further connection of these units; the first case is shown schematically. The ring size of the anion is determined by the size of the specific cation used in the synthesis.
