Abstract

The hydrothermal reaction of Na2WO4·2H 2O, CuSO4·5H2O, 2,2′:6′, 2″-terpyridine (terpy), H3PO4 and H2O at 150°C for 120 h yielded a mixture of [{Cu4(terpy) 4(PO4)(H2O)2}{W12O 36(PO4)}]·5H2O (1·5H 2O) and [{Cu(terpy)(H2O)2}2{W 12O36(PO4)}]·6H2O (2·6H2O). The structure of 2 consists of discrete {W 12O36(PO4)}4- Keggin clusters whose surface is decorated by two {Cu(terpy)(H2O)}2+ charge-compensating subunits. In contrast, the structure of 1 is one-dimensional with the chain constructed from {W12O 36(PO4)}5- Keggin clusters and the cationic {Cu4(terpy)4(PO4)(H2O) 2}5+ clusters. Both materials are mixed valence. In the case of 1, the tungstate core is formally {W10(VI)W2(V)}, while for 2 the oxidation states are {W11(VI)W(V)}.
