Synthesis and Structure of Hetropolyoxometal-supported Transition Metal Complexes

The chemistry of metal-oxo compounds has been extensively and intensively studied for over a hundred years because of their theoritical importance and practical application^1]. Recent advance has afforded a study of inorganic or organometallic complexes containing metal-oxo anions^2]. Herein, the synthesis and structural characterization of two heteropolyoxomolybdnum-supported transition metal complexes (H₂bpy)_0.5Ni(H₂O)₅Mo₅P₂O₂₃]Ni(Hbpy)(H₂O)₄ (1) and (H₂bpy)_0.5Co(H₂O)₅Mo₅P₂O₂₃]Co(Hbpy) (H₂O)₄(2) are reported.
