The manganese(II) containing polyanion 31 is composed <strong>of</strong> two fragments <strong>of</strong><br />

[Mn 3 (H 2 O)(B-β-GeW 9 O 33 (OH))(B-β-GeW 8 O 30 (OH))] 12–<br />

linked through an octahedrally<br />

coordinated Mn 2+ ion. In close analogy to 30, this extra metal ion links the two s<strong>and</strong>wich<br />

fragments by coordinating to the pair <strong>of</strong> rotated tungsten centers in each (B-β-GeW 8 O 31 ) unit<br />

<strong>and</strong> it also has two trans-related terminal water lig<strong>and</strong>s (Figure 5.20).<br />

Polyanion 31 exhibits a small degree (~15%) <strong>of</strong> crystallographic alpha/beta disorder <strong>of</strong><br />

two W 3 O 13 triads in the (B-β-GeW 9 O 34 ) unit. We were able to resolve this issue by assigning<br />

partial occupancies to the involved W atoms.<br />

represent Mn 2+ (31). Otherwise, the color code is the same as in Figures 5.15 – 5.19.<br />
