that the metals occupy equivalent octahedral sites, so that they make one short terminal<br />

M-O bond <strong>and</strong> a rather long M-O bond to the translocated high-coordinate oxygen<br />

site. This cluster is known as the Lindqvist type structure, e.g. [M 6 O 19 ] n− (n= 8 for<br />

M= Nb, Ta) <strong>and</strong> (n = 2 for M= Mo, W ). In Figure 1.7, the polyanion is based on an<br />

arrangement <strong>of</strong> seven edge shared octahedra where the heteroatom “X” is surrounded<br />

by six-oxo lig<strong>and</strong>s in a pseudo-octahedral symmetry <strong>and</strong> it occupies the central position.<br />
