Copper-, cobalt-, and manganese-containing 17-tungsto-2-germanates.
The sandwich-type tungstogermanates [Cu(3)(H(2)O)(B-beta-GeW(9)O(33)(OH))(B-beta-GeW(8)O(30)(OH))](12-) (1), [Co(H(2)O)(2){Co(3)(B-beta-GeW(9)O(33)(OH))(B-beta-GeW(8)O(30)(OH))}(2)](22-) (2), and [Mn(H(2)O)(2){Mn(3)(H(2)O)(B-beta-GeW(9)O(33)(OH))(B-beta-GeW(8)O(30)(OH))}(2)](22-) (3) were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. Polyanion 1 is composed of two nonequivalent Keggin units, (B-beta-GeW(8)O(31)) and (B-beta-GeW(9)O(34)), linked to each other via three copper(II) ions in such a way that there is a plane of symmetry passing through both Ge atoms and the unique Cu atom, resulting in…
Selective Crystallization of Dimeric vs. Monomeric Dimethyltin‐Containing Tungstoarsenates(III) and ‐antimonates(III) with the Guanidinium Cation
The use of guanidinium cations [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] + as crystallizing agents allowed us to selectively isolate the dimeric [{(CH 3 ) 2 -Sn(H20)} 4 {(CH 3 ) 2 Sn}(B-β-XW 9 O 33 ) 2 ] 8- (1, X = As III ; 2, X = Sb III ) polyanions from the reaction of (CH 3 ) 2 SnCl 2 with Na 9 [B-a-XW 9 O 33 ) (3:1 ratio) in water at pH 3. This reaction is known to give the monomeric [{(CH 3 ) 2 Sn(H 2 O) 2 } 3 (B-β-XW 9 O 33 )] 3- polyanions as the major species. Polyanions 1 and 2 are composed of one octahedral trans-(CH 3 ) 2 SnO 4 moiety that bridges two trilacunary [B-β-XW 9 O 33 ] 9- Keggin subunits further decorated by two structurally nonequivalent {(CH 3 ) 2 Sn} 2+ functionalities each: one distorted octa…
