Figure 3.5. Polyhedral representation <strong>of</strong> the {W 22 } unit <strong>of</strong> 1–10 which is composed <strong>of</strong> two<br />

{W 11 } half-units. The latter are composed <strong>of</strong> di-, tri- <strong>and</strong> tetrameric tungsten-oxo building<br />

blocks shown in different color: {W 4 } (light blue), {W 3 } (green), {W 2 } (red).<br />

Recently Cronin et al. reported on {W 36 } which is a cyclic trimer <strong>of</strong> {W 11 } linked via three<br />

extra WO 6 bridges <strong>and</strong> stabilized by a central potassium ion. 18 Figure 3.6 summarizes the<br />

three isopolytungstate structures {W 11 }, {W 36 } <strong>and</strong> {W 22 } <strong>and</strong> the respective formation<br />

conditions. The {W 22 } isopolytungstate as such <strong>of</strong>fers two tridentate lig<strong>and</strong> sites, which are<br />
