A novel transition metal polyoxotungstate, [Cu(H2O)6][{Cu(H2O)2}2{Cu(H2O)4H4W12O42}] · 12H2O (1), has been synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR and UV/vis spectroscopy, and TG analysis. The paradodecatungstate anions [H2W12O42]10− are linked by CuO6 octahedra, forming a three-dimensional (3D) structure. The magnetic suscep...

Abstract Two tungstates containing platinum nanoparticles (Pt Npts) were obtained by air-calcining α-Keggin-type diplatinum(II)-coordinated polyoxotungstates, Cs 3 [α-PW 11 O 39 { cis -Pt(NH ) 2 } ]⋅8H ( Cs-P-Pt and 4 [α-SiW ]⋅11H Cs-Si-Pt ), at 700–900 °C for 5 h. The polyoxotungstate was transformed to a mixture of Pt Npts PW 12 40 upon calcination, while the structures W 35 . generated 700 h...

Two polyanions [SeI V2 PdII4 WVI14 O56 H]11- and [SeI V4 PdII4 WVI28 O108 H12 ]12- are the first hybrid polyoxometalates in which classical (Group 5/6 metal based) and non-classical (late transition-metal based) polyoxometalate units are joined. Requiring no supporting groups, this co-condensation of polyoxotungstate and isopolyoxopalladate constituents also provides a logical link between POM-...

Inorganic-organic hybrid crystals were successfully obtained as single crystals by using polyoxotungstate anion and cationic dodecylpyridazinium (C12pda) and dodecylpyridinium (C12py) surfactants. The decatungstate (W10) anion was used as the inorganic component, and the crystal structures were compared. In the crystal comprising C12pda (C12pda-W10), the heterocyclic moiety directly interacted ...

The reactions of [γ-SiW10O36](8-) represent one of the most important synthetic gateways into a vast array of polyoxotungstate chemistry. Herein, we set about exploring the transformation of the lacunary polyoxoanion [β2-SiW11O39](8-) into [γ-SiW10O36](8-) using high-resolution electrospray mass spectrometry, density functional theory, and molecular dynamics. We show that the reaction proceeds ...
