Tetrakis(2,6-di-methyl-pyridinium) di-hydrogen deca-vanadate dihydrate.

The structure of the title compound, (C7H10N)4[H2V10O28]·2H2O, was solved from a non-merohedrally twinned crystal (ratio of twin components ∼0.6:0.4). The asymmetric unit consists of one-half deca-vanadate anion (the other half completed by inversion symmetry), two 2,6-di-methyl-pyridinium cations and one water mol-ecule of crystallization. In the crystal, the components are connected by strong N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supra-molecular chain along the b-axis direction. There are weak C-H⋯O inter-actions between the chains.
