Compounds of the [PMo12O40]3− anion with surfactant cations forming nanoperiodic structures

Phosphomolybdic acid forms compounds with surfactant cations in acid aqueous media (pH 1.0–2.5) to give compounds A₃PMo₁₂O₄₀] or Etn₃PMo₁₂O₄₀]₂·nEtnCl₂ (n=0−3) with various nanoperiodicity depending on the surfactant and synthesis conditions.
