Figure 9.16 Thermogravimetric analysis of 11a.<br />

9.1.6.1 Results and discussion<br />

The polyanion [Mn 4 (H 2 O) 16 (P 8 W 48 O 184 )(WO 4 ) 1.7 ] 35- (11) (Figure 9.17) contains two pairs of<br />

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

of tungstate which appears in 11 is most likely formed in situ by decomposition of a very minor<br />

fraction of the P 8 W 48 precursor. Compound 11a has been fully characterized in the solid state by<br />

single-crystal XRD, TGA-DSC and IR. The molecular structure of 11 reveals that the novel<br />

polyanion has four [Mn(H 2 O) 4 ] 2+ groups covalently attached to the cavity of the cyclic P 8 W 48 .<br />
