Figure 3.20. Ball-<strong>and</strong>-stick representation <strong>of</strong> the monolacunary polyanion precursor<br />

[As 2 W 20 O 68 (H 2 O)] 10− (As 2 W 20 ). The color code is the same as in Figure 3.19.<br />

Our group has also been working in the area <strong>of</strong> lanthanide-containing polyoxotungstates<br />

<strong>and</strong> we have isolated species incorporating between one <strong>and</strong> twenty lanthanide centers. 11 We<br />

have also investigated the interaction <strong>of</strong> both As 2 W 19 <strong>and</strong> As 2 W 20 with ytterbium(III) in<br />

aqueous acidic (pH = 2) medium, resulting in both cases in [YbAs 2 W 20 O 68 (H 2 O) 3 ] 7− . 11a This<br />

polyanion consists <strong>of</strong> two AsW 9 units connected by a triangular [YbW 2 O 2 (H 2 O) 3 ] 11+ unit<br />

which is composed <strong>of</strong> two 6-coordinated tungsten centers <strong>and</strong> a 7-coordinated Yb III ion, all<br />

carrying one terminal water lig<strong>and</strong>. 11a<br />

Now, we have focused on the reactivity <strong>of</strong> lanthanide ions with lone pair-containing<br />

lacunary POM precursors such as As 2 W 19 <strong>and</strong> AsW 9 . This work has resulted in the synthesis<br />

<strong>and</strong> structural characterization <strong>of</strong> two lanthanide-containing 19-tungsto-2-arsenates(III)<br />

reported herein.<br />
