The polyoxoanion incorporated {Mn(CO)3^+} complex, (n-Bu4N)2[Mo6O16(OCH3)2{HOCH2C(CH2O)3}2·{Mn(CO)3}2](1), has been synthesized by the reaction of (n-Bu4N)4[Mo8O26] with Mn(CO)5Br in methanol, in the presence of C(CH2OH)4. The complex 1 has been characterized by IR, UV-Vis, X-ray single crystal diffraction, and TG. Crystal data for the complex 1:C25H48MnMo3NO16 (1), Triclinic Pi, a=0.9405(3) nm, b=1.3351(4) nm, c=1.5455(4) nm, α=103.206(5)°, β=102.165(5)°, γ=100.784(5)°, V=1.7896(9) nm^3, Z=2, R1=0.0703, wR2= 0.1495. The structure analysis of complex 1 shows that the complex consists of two tetrabutylammonium cations and a polyoxomolybdate anion that incorporates two fac-Mn(CO)3^+ units. The anion of complex 1 can be considered as the dimer of two rhomb-like anions by sharing of two comers.
A new hybrid polyoxometalate-based complex, [Cu^I(phen)214(SiW12O40) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), has been synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized with the aid of elemental analysis, IR, UV spectra and thermal analysis studies. The result of X-ray crystallography analysis exhibits that the title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121, and the formula is C96H64N16Cu4SiW12O40. Crystal data: a = 18.3574(14), b = 21.1952(16), c = 27.992(2)A, Mr = 4570.08, V = 10891.4(14)A^3, Z = 4, Dc = 2.787 g/cm^3,μ = 13.478 mm^-1, R = 0.0364, wR = 0.0638 (I 〉 2σ(I)) and F(000) = 8360. The complex consists of one α-Keggin anion [SIW12O40]^4- and four discrete [Cu^I(phen)2]^+ cations. The valence sum calculations for the Cu atoms suggest that all four Cu atoms are in the +1 oxidation state.
A new compound based on polyoxovanadate [{Ni(en)2}2Sb8V14O42]·5.5H2O(en=ethylenediamine)(1) was synthesised hydrothermally as black rhombus crystals.Compound 1 crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group P21/n,Z=4,a=1.46953(9) nm,b=1.28623(8) nm,c=1.76008(11) nm,β=105.7230(10)°.In the asymmetric unit,cluster {Sb8V14O42} can be considered as an Sb derivative of the {V18O42} unit.Each {Sb8V14O42} cluster as a building block interconnected to four other neighboring units by {Ni(en)2} bridging groups which are linked through the terminal oxygen atoms of the polyoxoanions,forming a two dimensional network.
