"Out-of-pocket" association of Ag(+) to the tetradentate defect site of mono-vacant Keggin and Wells-Dawson polyoxometalate (POM) cluster-anions is used to direct the formation of water-soluble AgCl nanocubes.

The reaction of the WO4(2-) ion in the pH range 2 to 8 was carried out with the following metal ions individually in combination: Mn2+, Mn3+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Co3+, Ni2+, Cu1+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ga3+, Mg2+, In3+, RAsO3(2-), RSbO3(2-). Some 36 heteropolyanions have been isolated in the crystalline form characterized fully. The antiviral activity of these anions has been determined against HIV, herpes...

The title compound, (C(4)H(12)N(2))(3)[PMo(12)O(40)] or (H(2)pip)(3)[PMo(12)O(40)] (pip is piperazine), was prepared under hydro-thermal conditions. The asymmetric unit contains one-sixth of a mixed-valent Mo(V,VI) pseudo-Keggin-type [PMo(12)O(40)](6-) anion and half a piperazinediium cation, (H(2)pip)(2+). The discrete Keggin-type [PMo(12)O(40)](6- )anion has site symmetry and the three (H(2)p...

A Keggin-type arsenotungstate anion-supported iron-bipyridine complex, [Fe(2,2′-bipy)3]1.5[AsWVI10WV2O40Fe(2,2′-bipy)2(H2O)] · 0.25H2O, has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by IR and ESR spectra, TG-DTA analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Each structural unit of the title compound consists of one [AsWVI10WV2O40Fe(2,2′-bipy)2(H2O)]3− heteropolyanion, one and a half [...

A series of three remarkable complexes [PMo12O40]@[Cu6O(TZI)3(H2O)9]4·OH·31H2O (H3TZI = 5-tetrazolylisophthalic acid; denoted as HLJU-1, HLJU = Heilongjiang University), [SiMo12O40]@[Cu6O(TZI)3(H2O)9]4·32H2O (denoted as HLJU-2), and [PW12O40]@[Cu6O(TZI)3(H2O)6]4·OH·31H2O (denoted as HLJU-3) have been isolated by using simple one-step solvothermal reaction of copper chloride, 5-tetrazolylisophth...

Herein a novel inorganic-organic hybrid Keggin-type heteropolymolybdate [Ni2Na(C12H8N2)4(BMo12O40)(H2O)2] (1) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions in aqueous solution. The cyrstal structure was fully characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental analysis, Fourier-tranform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM...

The synthesis and characterization of a Keggin-type mono-rhenium(V)substituted polyoxotungstate are described. The dimethylammonium salt [Me2NH2]4[PW11ReO40] was obtained as analytically pure homogeneous black-purple crystals by reacting mono-lacunary Keggin polyoxotungstate with [ReCl6] in water, followed by crystallization from acetone at ca. 5 °C. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of ...

A new polyoxometalate(POM)-templated inorganic-organic hybrid compound, [Ag6(trz)6][PMo12O40]2 · 6H2O (1) (trz = 1,2,4-triazole) has been prepared under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and cyclic voltammetry. In compound 1, six Ag+ ions are linked by six trz molecules to give a hexanuc...

The chaotropic character of Keggin-type polyoxotungstate anions was evaluated with respect to their ability bind ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) by varying the global charge density nanometer-sized polyanion.
