Abstract

Exploration of the reactivity of the versatile polyoxometalate precursor [As2W19O67(H2O)]14- with yttrium salts and organic proligands derived from 2-picolinic acid: 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (pdcH2) and 5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2- pyridinecarboxylic acid (mcpcH), has afforded the three new hybrid complexes [Y{AsW8O30}2(AsO)2{WO 2(pdc)}2]13- (1) and [{Y(H2O) 3}2{As2W19O68}{WO 2(L)}2]8- (L- = pdcH- (2) or mcpc- (3)). The structurally-related and organic ligand free species [{Y(H2O)3}4{Y(H2O) 6}2{As2W19O68} 2{WO3(H2O)}4(AsO)2] 20- (4) was also obtained. Structural characterization of the mixed salts of the four complexes, K8H5[1]·9H 2O, K2.5H5.5[2]·37H2O, K 2.5H5.5[3]·34H2O and K 6Na2H4[4]·30H2O, has revealed that five membered N,O-chelated {WO2(L)} units play a key structural role in complexes 1-3. With no picolinate-based ligand present in 4, additional arsenite fragments bind to the analogous tungsten coordination sites.
