Effect of Stereochemically Active Electron Lone Pairs on Magnetic Ordering in Trivanadates.

ABSTRACT: Stereoactive electron lone pairs derived from filled 5/6s² states of p-block cations are an intriguing electronic and geometric structure motif that have been exploited for diverse applications such as thermoelectrics, thermochromics, photocatalysis, and nonlinear optics. Layered trivanadates are dynamic intercalation hosts, where the insertion of cations can be used to tune electron correlation, charge localization, and magnetic ordering. However, the interaction of 5/6s² stereoactive electron lone pairs with layered trivanadates remains unexplored. In this study, we contrast s- and p-block trivanadates and map off-centering in the coordination environment and reduction in symmetry arising from the stereochemical activity of lone pair cations to the emergence of fill
