Abstract

Three novel hexa-Ni-substituted Dawson phos-phortungstates [Ni6(en)3(H2O)63-OH)3(H3P2W15O56)]·14H2O (1), [Ni(enMe)2(H2O)][Ni6(enMe)33-OH)3(H2O)6(HP2W15O56)]· 10H2O (2), and [Ni(enMe)2]3[Ni(enMe)2(H2O)][Ni(enMe)(H2O)2]-[Ni6(enMe)33-OH)3(Ac)2(H2O)(P2W15O56)]2·6H2O (3) (en = eth-ylenediamine, enMe = 1, 2-diaminopropane, Ac = CH3COO-) have been made under hydrothermal conditions and were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The common structural features of compounds 1-3 contain the similar hexa-Ni-substituted Dawson polyoxometalate (POM) units that can be viewed as a [Ni63-OH)3]9+ cluster capping on a [P2W15O56]12- fragment. Compounds 1 and 2 are two isolated clusters, whereas compound 3 is the first 3D POM framework constructed from hexa-Ni-substituted Dawson POM units and Ni(enMe) complex bridges. The preparations of compounds 1-3 not only indicate that triangle coplanar Ni6 clusters are very stable fragments in both trivacant Keggin and trivacant Dawson POM systems, but also offer that the hydrothermal technique can act as an effective strategy for making novel Dawson-type high-nuclear transition-metal cluster substituted POMs by combination of lacunary Dawson precusors with transition-metal cations in the tunable role of organic ligands. In addition, magnetic measurements illustrate that there exist overall ferromagnetic interactions in compound 3.
