A novel polyoxometalate tri-supported mixed-valent transition metal coordination complex

The New Vanadoborate-supported Hexanuclear Zinc Complex [Zn(teta)]6[(VO)12O6B18O36(OH)6](H2O) · 8H2O

“…1, the smallest formula unit of 1 contains two V atoms, three B atoms, ten O atoms, one Zn(teta) complex and three water molecules. Each V atom adopts a square-pyramidal environment (VO 5 ) with the V-O distances ranging from 1.619 (2) (2) • for the tetrahedra. These data are in agreement with those of other vanadoborates [6][7][8][9][10].…”
