‘Adding’ stable functional complementary, nucleophilic and electrophilic clusters: a synthetic route to [{(SiW11O39)Mo3S4(H2O)3(µ-OH)}2]10– and [{(P2W17O61)Mo3S4(H2O)3(µ-OH)}2]14– as examples

Abstract

Stable functional complementary clusters, i.e. of the electrophilic and nucleophilic type, can be ‘added’ resulting in the planned formation of the related reaction products: the high-yield synthesis of the crystalline compounds [Me₂NH₂]₁₀- [{(SiW₁₁O₃₉)Mo₃S₄(H₂O)₃(µ-OH)}₂]·20H₂O 1 and [Me₂NH₂]₁₄[{(P₂W₁₇O₆₁)Mo₃S₄(H₂O)₃(µ-OH)}₂]·25H₂O 2 containing the related {Mo₃S₄}⁴⁺ as well as {W₁₁O₃₉}^8– and {W₁₇O₆₁}^10– clusters as constituents, respectively, is a good example.
