Hydrothermal synthesis and structure of di-copperII-complex substituted monovacant polyoxotungstate with a 1D chain structure

A novel di-copperII-complex substituted monovacant Keggin polyoxotungstate [Cu(2,2′-bpy)(H2O)][H2PW11O39Cu2(2,2′-bpy)2(H2O)(OH)] · 1.5H2O (1) (2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) with a 1D polymeric chain has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. To our knowledge, 1 is the rare magnetic di-transition metal-complex substituted monovacant Keggin polyoxotungstate with a unique 1D dual-bridging chain structure. Its magnetic behavior has been quantitatively analyzed by the Bleaney–Bowers equation, indicating the presence of weak antiferromagnetic interactions within dinuclear CuII centers.
