Abstract
Blue [{Cu(2,2′-bipy)2}2{α-SiW12O40}] (bipy = bipyridyl) (1) and pale yellow [Mn(2,2′-bipy)3]2[α-SiW12O40] (2) have been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray structure analysis. In 1, the [α-SiW12O40]4− ion acts as a bridge between the two [{Cu(2,2′-bipy)2]2+ moieties via coordination through the terminal oxygen atoms, while in 2, the [Mn(2,2′-bipy)3]2+ ion balances the charge on the polyoxo anion without forming any covalent bond. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of transition metal-mediated transformation of [α-SiW9O34]10− to [α-SiW12O40]4−.
