5.A.2.3. X‐ray Crystallography<br />

All crystals were mounted in Hampton cryoloops using light oil, for data collection at low<br />

temperature. Indexing <strong>and</strong> data collection were performed using a Bruker X8 APEX II CCD<br />

diffractometer with kappa geometry <strong>and</strong> Mo K α radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). Data integration<br />

<strong>and</strong> routine processing were performed using the SAINT s<strong>of</strong>tware suite. Further data<br />

processing, including multi-scans absorption corrections, was performed using SADABS.<br />

Direct methods (SHELXS97) solutions successfully located the W atoms, <strong>and</strong> successive<br />

Fourier syntheses (SHELXL97) revealed the remaining atoms. 10<br />

Refinements were fullmatrix<br />

least squares against F 2 using all data. Some cations <strong>and</strong> waters <strong>of</strong> hydration were<br />

modeled with varying degrees <strong>of</strong> occupancy, a common situation for polyoxotungstate<br />

structures. In the final refinements, all nondisordered heavy atoms (Mo, Te) were refined<br />
