V. Hubert et H. Hartl, CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF ALPHA-HEPTASODIUM-TR IHYDROGENNONATUNGSTOSILICATE NONAHYDRATE, ALPHA-NA-7[H3SIW9O34]CENTER-DOT-9H(2)O, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 51(7), 1996, pp. 969-974
The title compound, alpha-Na-7[H3SiW9O34].9H2O, is the first alpha-iso
mer of heteropolyoxometalate anions [XW(9)O(34)](Z-). Its crystal stru
cture is interesting because of the unusual coordination chemistry of
the Na+ cations and the formation of a microporous solid. While one of
the three crystallographically independent Na+ cations is coordinated
by oxygen atoms of the polyanions, the others form a cluster of four
face-sharing sodium-oxygen-octahedra. The resulting microporous networ
k contains large hexagonal channels.
