The Counter Cation Effect in the Synthesis and SubsequentReactivity of Polyoxometalates Open Access

Abstract

This thesis describes the role of counter cations in the synthesis of polyoxometalates. Chapter one describes the role of a cesium ion and how its concentration can afford two structurally similar palladium silicotungstate crystal structures Cs3K2Na4[Cs 2K(H2O)7Pd^II 2WO(H 2O)A-α-SiW9O34)2]•5H 2O (1) and Cs9Na5[Pd^II 3Si2W18O69]•20H2O (2). This is the first report of having two complexes so closely related by structure where the only difference in preparation is the concentration of counter cation added. Chapter two describes an iron silicotungstate compound [(CH3)2NH2] 6[β-Fe^III 2SiW10O36(OH) 2Cl2]•8H2O•0.5[(CH3) 2NH2Cl] (3) a structurally similar compound to that of a reported literature compound [(CH3)2NH2)] 5β-SiFe2W10O36(OH)2(H 2O)Cl]•7H2O (4). Compound 3 is formed following the same literature procedure as 4 but by added more tetra ethyl amine hydrochloride counter cation, 3 is formed. Further studies were performed exchange the chloride atoms for azides.
