9.3.4.1 Results and discussion<br />

The structure of [Hf 6 (µ 3 -O) 4 (OH) 4 (CH 3 COO) 5 (AsW 9 O 33 ) 2 ] 11- (23) (Figure 9.64) reveals that the<br />

novel polyanion consists of two [α-AsW 9 O 33 ] 9- anions linked by {Hf 6 (µ 3 -<br />

O) 4 (OH) 4 (H 2 O) 2 (CH 3 COO) 5 } 7+ group, resulting in an assembly of chiral C 1 symmetry. There are<br />

two types of coordination geometry present in zirconium. There are two types coordination<br />

geometry present in zirconium. The polyanion 23 is composed of two units of [α-AsW 9 O 33 ] 9- ,<br />

six hafnium and five acetate groups. There are five acetate groups which are attached to the five<br />

hafnium atoms and the other hafnium does not have any acetate group. The BVS calculation<br />

suggests that the four oxygen atoms are monoprotonated. We performed TGA measurements on<br />
