Figure 9.13 TGA analysis of 10a.<br />

9.1.5.1 Results and discussion<br />

The polyanion [Ni 4 (H 2 O) 16 (P 8 W 48 O 184 )(WO 4 ) 2 ] 32- (10) (Figure 9.14) contains two pairs of nickel<br />

ions which are incorporated in the cavity but on opposite sides. The extra equivalent of tungstate<br />

which appears in 10 is most likely formed in situ by decomposition of a very minor fraction of<br />

the P 8 W 48 precursor. Compound 10a has been fully characterized in the solid state by singlecrystal<br />

XRD, TGA-DSC, and IR.<br />

The molecular structure of 10 reveals that the novel polyanion has four [Ni(H 2 O) 4 ] 2+ groups<br />
