Rational addition of capping groups to the phosphomolybdate Keggin anion [PMo12O40](3-) by mild, non-aqueous reductive aggregation

Controlled reductive assembly of capped Keggin anions [PMo(12)O(40)(ML(m))(n)](3-) has been achieved by reduction of [PMo(12)O(40)](3-) with sodium-mercury amalgam in the presence of metal halides, as exemplified by the rational syntheses of mono-capped [PMo(12)O(40){Co(MeCN)(2)}](3-) and bi-capped...

Summary:Controlled reductive assembly of capped Keggin anions [PMo(12)O(40)(ML(m))(n)](3-) has been achieved by reduction of [PMo(12)O(40)](3-) with sodium-mercury amalgam in the presence of metal halides, as exemplified by the rational syntheses of mono-capped [PMo(12)O(40){Co(MeCN)(2)}](3-) and bi-capped [PMo(12)O(40)(VO)(2)](3-) and [PMo(12)O(40)Sb(2)](3-).
