Abstract: Three new supramolecular compounds based on triethylenediamine and different polyoxometalates [WVI 3VV 3O19H]{[Cu(HDABCO)]2(H2O)} (1), [P2MoVI 18O62][HDABCO]2[H2DABCO]2·12H2O (2) and [MoVI 7.5WVI 0.5O27][Cu(HDABCO)]2·2H3O·2H2O (3) (DABCO=triethylenediamine) have been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by IR, TG, XPS and X-ray diffraction analyses. Crystal structure analyses reveal that compound 1 exhibits a face-centered cubic packing motif, compound 2 displays a supramolecular structure constructed form the “chains” arranged hexagonally, compound 3 contains [Mo7.5W0.5O27]∞ chain decorated by [Cu(HDABCO)]2+ cations, which was then packed into a layer structure. These results show that the same organonitrogen combining with the different POMs will yield different supramolecular networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: A new compound [Mo8V7O42][Cu(2,2′-bpy)2]2[Cu(2,2′-bpy)]·2H3O (1) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by IR, UV–vis spectrum, elemental analysis, XRD, ESR, XPS, X-ray diffraction analysis and magnetic property study. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis indicates that the compound 1 is a novel Keggin polyoxoanion tri-supported mixed-valent transition metal coordination complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new compound based on bi-capped Keggin polyoxoniobates and copper coordination complexes, with formula [Cu(en) 2 ][Cu(en) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ][Cu(en) 2 (H 2 O)] 2 [H 4 SiNb 12 V 2 O 42 ]·7H 2 O ( 1 ) (en = ethylenediamine), was obtained under hydrothermal condition and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrum (IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis) and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis. Compound 1 has three different types of copper complexes in it. A [Cu(en) 2 ] 2 + and two [Cu(en) 2 (H 2 O)] 2 + fragments were supported by the polyoxoniobate to form a novel polyoxoniobate tri-supported coordination complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: A novel compound 1 which represents the missing link between the discrete POMs and the POMs as building blocks in extended structure has already been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis, XPS spectrum, TG analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The study of the magnetic susceptibility of the compound 1 demonstrates the presence of ferromagnetic interactions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Two new interesting polyoxometalate derivatives 1 and 2 constructed of modified metal–oxo cluster ions carrying positive and negative changes, respectively, was hydrothermally prepared and structurally characterized by IR, ESR, XPS, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. The result of structure determination shows that compound 1 and 2 are isostructural and both contain polyoxocation and polyoxoanion, and both cation and anion are built on mixed Mo–V tetra-capped pseudo-Keggin units with P centre, [Mo8V8O40(PO4)]n-, bonded to four or two [Ni(2,2′-bipy)2H2O]2+ complexes, respectively, via terminal oxygen of the capping V atoms. Magnetism measurement indicates that there exists antiferromagnetic interaction in complex 1 and 2. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
