Rational Synthesis and Characterization of the Mixed-Metal Organometallic Polyoxometalates [Cp*MoxW6鈥?i>xO18]鈭?/sup> (x = 0, 1, 5, 6)

The reaction between the oxometallic complexes Cp*2M2O5 and Na2M鈥睴4 (M, M鈥?= Mo, W) in a 1:10 molar ratio in an acidic aqueous medium constitutes a mild and selective entry into the anionic Lindqvist-type hexametallic organometallic mixed oxides [Cp*MoxW6鈥?i>xO18]鈭?/sup> [x = 6 (1), 5 (2), 1 (3), 0 (4)]. All of these compounds have been isolated as salts of nBu4N+ (a), nBu4P+ (b), and Ph4P+ (c) cations and two of them (1 and 3) also with the n-butylpyridinium (nBuPyr+, d) cation. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses, electrospray mass spectrometry, and IR spectroscopy. The molecular identity and geometry of compounds 1c, 2a, and 2c have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations on models obtained by replacing Cp* with Cp (I鈥?b>IV) have provided information on the assignment of the terminal M鈺怬 and bridging M鈥揙鈥揗 vibrations.
