[{(H2O)Ni(enMe)(2)(Mo4Mo4V8IV)-Mo-V-V-VI((VO4)-O-V)O-40}(2){Ni(enMe)(2)} ][Ni(enMe)(2)](4)center dot 8H(2)O: The first dimer of polyoxometalates linked through coordination fragment
The hydrothermal reaction Of V2O5, MoO3, NiCl(2)(.)6H(2)O, enMe (1,2-diaminopropane) and H2O produces [{(H2O)Ni(enMe)(2)(Mo4Mo4V8IV)-Mo-V-V-VI((VO4)-O-V)O-40}(2) {Ni(enMe)(2)}]-[Ni(enMe)(2)](4)(.)8H(2)O, which is the first compound containing polyanion dimer linked by transition metal coordination fragment. The structure of this compound was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, EPR and IR analysis.
