[HTe 2 W 10 O 40 ] 11− half units related by an inversion center. Furthermore, there are three sodium<br />

ions coordinated to the central cavity <strong>of</strong> 26 <strong>and</strong> one <strong>of</strong> them is present at the inversion center<br />

<strong>of</strong> the polyanion (see Figure 5.2). Each Te 4+ ion is linked to one <strong>of</strong> the {W 10 } units through<br />

three -oxo bridges <strong>and</strong> another such bridge links to the other half-unit, resulting in<br />

coordination number four <strong>and</strong> a see-saw coordination geometry for the Te atom (see<br />

Figure 5.3).<br />

Figure 5.2. Polyhedral (left) <strong>and</strong> ball-<strong>and</strong>-stick (right) representations <strong>of</strong> [H 2 Te 4 W 20 O 80 ] 22−<br />

(26). The color code is as follows: WO 6 octahedra (red); Te (blue), W (black); O (red), Na<br />

(yellow).<br />
