Comment
There is increasing interest in the synthesis of organic/inor-
ganic hybrid compounds because of their novel structural
architectures (Hagrman et al., 1999) and unusual electro-
chemical and magnetic properties (Leroux et al., 1996; Lira-
Cant u & G o mez-Romero, 1998). Hydrothermal synthesis and
structural characterization of vanadium oxide lattices
containing Zn±, Cu± and Co±bipyridyl (bipy) complexes have
been intensively studied because of their large structural
diversity; for example, two-dimensional layered vanadium
