Synthesis of a reduced tridecavanadate dimer linked by eight hydrogen bonds
The reaction of highly condensed heptadecavanadate with labile metal compound gave the first reduced tridecavanadate with hydrogen bonds to make a novel dimeric structure: the protonated and reduced sites were unambiguously determined by Xray analysis. The reduced tridecavanadate was not directly converted chemically or electrochemically into the oxidized form.
