Abstract

Polyoxoniobate [GeNb18O54]14 − and polyniobotungstate [Nb3W3O19]5 − are firstly found to co-crystallize at the same crystal to form a rare organic–inorganic hybrid polyoxometalate H[Cu(en)2(H2O)]8[Cu(en)2(H2O)2]2{K4[Cu(en)2]2[Cu(en)2(GeNb18O54)]2}[Nb3W3O19]·32H2O (1). Interestingly, in 1, the crescent-shaped polyoxoanions [GeNb18O54]14 − can form dimeric secondary building units (SBUs) {[GeNb18O54]2[K2(H2O)5]2} via the linkage of K+ cations. These dimeric SBUs can be further bridged by copper complexes to generate 1D infinite double strand chains with completely different isolated polyoxoanions [Nb3W3O19]5 − filling the gaps between chains.
