A new organometallic heteropolytungstate related to [Sb2W22O74(OH)2]12-: synthesis and structural characterisation of the bis-{Ru(p-cymene)}2+-containing anion [Sb2W20O70{Ru(p-cymene)}2]10.
Résumé
The easy synthesis of [Sb2W20O70{Ru(p-cymene)}2]10- by the reaction between the organometallic precursor [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 and [Sb2W20O70]14-, formed in situ, confirms the importance of the organometallic route to well defined Ru(II)-substituted heteropolytungstates. Its Na salt was isolated in 13% yield, the structure of which was determined by x-ray crystallography.
