Two distinct V 9 O 23 building blocks having different vanadium coordination environments are intergrown in the unusual layered vanadate [N(CH 3 ) 4 ] 5 V 18 O 46 (see picture). Lattice strain is relieved by alternation of the vanadate strips formed from the blocks in both directions (akin to a three‐dimensional tire tread). The formation of this lattice has implications for the assembly mechanism of this compound and related materials in hydrothermal synthesis.
