The title polyoxometalate-based organic–inorganic hybrid compound, [Na 6 (C 3 H 10 NO 2 ) 4 ][W 12 O 40 (OH) 2 ]·10H 2 O, consists of a di- μ 3 -hydroxido-tetra- μ 3 -oxido-octadeca- μ -oxido-octadecaoxidododecatungstate (paradodecatungstate B) anion, [W 12 O 40 (OH) 2 ] 10– , and six sodium cations coordinated by the oxygen ions of the polyanions, serinol ligands protonated at the N atom, and water molecules. The centrosymmetric paratungstate B anion shows characteristic features in terms of bond lengths and angles. The three-dimensional framework structure is established by bonding of the sodium cations with oxygen ions of the paratungstate B anions and a network consisting of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds of medium strength between the protonated serinol cations, water molecules and the paratungstate B anions. The title compound was also characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.
