Abstract
Two Co4-substituted sandwich-type polyoxometalates (H2en)9[Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]{[Co(H2O)4][Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]}·18H2O (1) and (H2en)5[Co4(H2O)2(H3GeW9O34)2]{[Co(H2O)4]2[Co4(H2O)2(H2GeW9O34)2]}·16H2O (2) (en = ethylenediamine) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal structure analysis reveals that the molecules of 1 and 2 contain two Co4-substituted sandwich-type polyoxoanions. This type of a molecular unit containing double polyoxoanions is very rare. From the viewpoint of supramolecular chemistry, the sandwich-type polyoxoanions in 1 and 2 can be further extended to 3-D frameworks via extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions.
