Ti-2-Containing 18-Tungsto-2-Arsenate(III) Monolacunary Host and the Incorporation of a Phenylantimony(III) Guest
The novel Ti-2-containing, sandwich-type 18-tungsto-2-arsenate(III) [ ((TiO)-O-IV)(2) (alpha-(AsW9O33)-W-III)(2)](14-) (1) was successfully synthesized by the reaction of [TiO](2+) species with [alpha-(AsW9O33)-W-III](9-). The monolacunary polyanion 1 is solution-stable, and a further reaction with 1 equiv of phenylantimony(III) dichloride resulted in [C6H5SbIII((TiO)-O-IV)(2)(alpha-(AsW9O33)-W-III)(2)](12-) (2). Both polyanions 1 and 2 were structurally characterized in the solid state and solution. Electrochemical studies were also performed on both polyanions.
