Abstract: | A medium-nuclearity mixed-valence polyoxomolybdate H2Mo16O52]10-={Mo16}(1a) was synthesized using an approach that employed protonated hexamethylenetetramine (HMTAH+) as counter ion and yielded (HMTAH)10 1a.34 H2O (1). The {Mo16} cluster anion exhibits significant nucleophilicity and traps electrophiles such as divalent transition metal ions, resulting in a family of isostructural compounds based on {Mo16M2}-type anions M(H2O)8H2Mo16O52]6- (M=FeII (2), MnII (3), CoII (4)). The highly reactive nature of the {Mo16} system is also revealed by rearrangement and decomposition reactions of to either slowly form a sodium-bridged heptamolybdate-based chain compound (5) when left in the reaction solution or, in the presence of very high concentrations of electrophiles, to heptamolybdate-based cluster compounds M2(H2O)9Mo7O24]2- of the {M2Mo7}-type (M=FeII (6), MnII (7)). Compounds were characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and density functional theory calculations. |
