A series of organophosphonopolyoxoniobotungstates [NbW10O38(RP)2]3– {R = Me (1), Et (2), Pr (3), nBu (4), Hex (5), Hep (6), Cy (7), Ph (8), All (9)} has been prepared by the reaction of (nBu4N)3[NbW5O19] with the appropriate organophosphono dichloride, RP(O)Cl2. All of the products were characterized by infrared and multinuclear (31P and 183W) NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 4, 6 and 8 were characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The hybrid anions [NbW10O38(RP)2]3– are made up of two W5O18 subunits, which can be viewed as monovacant derivatives of the niobotungstate precursor linked by a {Nb(OPR)2} group.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
