Stepwise assembly of a polyoxovanadate from mononuclear units in an organic solvent: carboxylate-stabilised fragments in the conversion of [VOCl4](2-) to [V15O36](5-)
Gb. Karet et al., Stepwise assembly of a polyoxovanadate from mononuclear units in an organic solvent: carboxylate-stabilised fragments in the conversion of [VOCl4](2-) to [V15O36](5-), CHEM COMMUN, (22), 1999, pp. 2249-2250
The [VOCl4](2-)/AgOAc reaction system in MeCN gives [V5O9Cl(OAc)(4)](2-), [
V9O19(OAc)(5)](3-) and [V15O36](5-) for reagent ratios of 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4,
respectively: the V-5 and V-9 cores are fragments of the V-15 core, sugges
ting the V-5 and V-9 units are carboxylate-stabilised intermediates in the
assembly of the V-15 polyoxovanadate.
