3.B.3.5. Conclusions<br />

The lanthanide-substituted polyoxometalates [{Ln(-CH 3 COO)(H 2 O) 2 (-GeW 11 O 39 )} 2 ] 12−<br />

(Ln = Eu (21), Gd (22), Lu(23)) have been synthesized <strong>and</strong> characterized by IR spectroscopy<br />

<strong>and</strong> elemental analysis. Single-crystal X-ray analyses were carried out on the potassium salts<br />

<strong>of</strong> 21 <strong>and</strong> 22 while on the mixed-potassium cesium <strong>of</strong> 23. The head-on dimer 21–23 consist <strong>of</strong><br />

two (-GeW 11 O 39 ) 8−<br />

fragments connected by a lanthanide-acetate dimer, (Ln 2 (-<br />

CH 3 COO) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ) 4+ . Each Ln 3+ ion is eight-coordinated in a distorted square-antiprismatic<br />

fashion. The solution properties <strong>of</strong> the diamagnetic derivatives (Lu analogue) by 183 W, 13 C<br />

NMR <strong>and</strong> 1 H NMR spectroscopy were also investigated.<br />
