The hydrothermal reaction of NaVO(3).H(2)O, barbituric acid, NH(2)NH(2).2HCl, H(3)PO(4), and H(2)O gave a novel heteropolyoxovanadate Na(6)(P(V)O(4))V(V)(6)V(IV)(12)O(39).H(3)PO(4).31H(2)O (1) and an unexpected phase Na(2)[C(12)H(6)N(6)O(9)].7H(2)O (2). The basic building blocks in 1 are the six-capped sphere-shaped heteropoly anion (P(V)O(4))V(V)(6)V(IV)(12)O(39) with framework similar to that of the reported polyoxovanadates possessing [V(18)O(42)] clusters encapsulating VO(4) or other ions. These heterpoly anionic units are linked via V[bond]O[bond]V bridges into an interesting 3D straight-channel structure. The structure of 2 consists of novel organic anions (C(12)H(6)N(6)O(9), 5,5-bis(2',4',6'-trioxopyrimidyl)barbital, representing the first oxidized barbituric acid trimer) linked via sodium ions into 1D hollow tubes with diameter of 4.49 x 6.86 A and further connected into a three-dimensional framework via hydrogen bonds.
