“…The Keggintype SiW 12−X Mo X (X = 3, 6, and 9) were prepared at the Si/W/ Mo ratio of 1 : (12 − X) : X (X = 3, 6, 9), according to the previous literature method. 29,30 For example, H 4 SiW 6 Mo 6 was prepared as follows: Na 2 SiO 3 (1 mmol), Na 2 WO 4 (6 mmol) and Na 2 MoO 4 (6 mmol) were suspended in 50 mL H 2 O at 110 °C. Aqueous 6 M HCl (18 mmol) was added drop-wise to the mixture and stirred for 2 h. Aer cooling to room temperature, 20 mL ethyl ether and an appropriate amount of sulfuric acid were added to the solution, which formed a chartreuse etherate.…”
