Abstract: A novel di-copperII-complex substituted monovacant Keggin polyoxotungstate [Cu(2,2′-bpy)(H2O)][H2PW11O39Cu2(2,2′-bpy)2(H2O)(OH)]·1.5H2O (1) (2,2′-bpy=2,2′-bipyridine) with a 1D polymeric chain has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. To our knowledge, 1 is the rare magnetic di-transition metal-complex substituted monovacant Keggin polyoxotungstate with a unique 1D dual-bridging chain structure. Its magnetic behavior has been quantitatively analyzed by the Bleaney–Bowers equation, indicating the presence of weak antiferromagnetic interactions within dinuclear CuII centers.

Abstract: A novel polyoxotungstate cluster (H2en)2.5H9[Fe6Ge3W24O94(H2O)2]·14H2O (1) (en=ethylenediamine) has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by IR, TGA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The polyoxoanion skeleton of 1 is composed of two tri-FeIII substituted B-α-(Fe3GeW9O40) Keggin units connected by an unique hexavacant GeW6O26 Keggin fragment, leading to the first Fe(III)-containing banana-shaped tungstogermanate. Magnetic measurements of 1 reveal that the exchange interactions within the trimetal clusters are antiferromagnetic. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
