‘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.
