Abstract: The titled complex NaK3 [VO2 (Hcit)]2.7H2O (H4cit=citric acid) has been pre-pared and characterized by X-ray diffraction.It crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/n with unit cell parameters:a = 1.1258(2) nm, b=1.5774(3) nm, c=1.6559(1) nm, β=98.568 (9)°and Dc = 1.851 g.cm-3, Z=4.Each dimer contains a quasi-centrosymmetric planar four-member V2O2 ring with two exocyclic citrate entities coordinated by the oxygen atoms of the hydroxy- and a-carboxylate ligand, while the other two β-carboxylate groups remain uncomplexed as its deprotonated and protonated citratovanadate(V).
