Cover illustration: The heterometallic coordination compound [Cu(Lys)(phen)]2V4O12·4H2O (Lys is the amino acid lysine, C6H14N2O2, and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, C12H8N2) lies across an inversion centre and features the [V4O12]4- polyoxovanadate anion acting as a bridging ligand for two [Cu(lysine)(1,10-phenanthroline)]2+ fragments. The [V4O12]4- ring system is of inter­est in coordination chemistry, given that this anion may behave as a bridging ligand, providing an entry to heterometallic complexes. Within the sub-set of heterometallic complexes containing V and Cu as transition metals for which an X-ray characterization is available, this compound is the first one including an amino acid, namely lysine.
