Isolation of a stable lacunary Dawson-type polyoxomolybdate cluster†
Abstract
A polyoxotetradecamolybdate cluster [Mo14O38(OAc)6]2−, which has a lacunary core of the Wells–Dawson structure, is isolated by the reduction of [Mo6O19]2−. The Mo14 core is comprised of a mixed valence of [MoV4MoVI10], exhibiting multi-step reversible redox processes that experience both
