Abstract

A new series of ionic crystals, KH2[Cr3O(OOCCH 3)6-(H2O)3][α-SiMo 12O40] ·11H2O (1), KH 2[Cr3O(OOCCH3)6(H2O) 3]-[α-SiW12O40]·11H2O (2), K2[Cr3O(OOCCH3)6 (H 2O)3][α-PW12O4017H2O (3), Na[Cr3O(OOCCH3) 6(H2O)3]2[α-PMo 12O40] ·11H2O (4), H5[Cr 3O(OOCCH3)6(H2O)3] [α-P2Mo18O62] ·10H2O (5) based on a polyoxometalate building block with a macrocation, have been synthesized in aqueous solution and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The polyanions and macrocations stacked alternately through hydrogen bonds as well as electrostatic interactions to constitute a novel porous microstructure. In the crystal structures of 1, 2, and 3, oppositely charged cluster ions stacked alternately to form one-dimensional channels. Compound 4 exhibits an unique structure that six macrocation pillars packed along the a-axis to form a straight ID channel, in which accommodates a polyoxometalate pillar. In compound 5, six α-Dawson-type polyoxometalate pillars stacked on top of each other along the a-axis to form a straight ID channel, which houses a macrocation pillar. The magnetic investigation on compounds 1 and 5 shows a typical antiferromagnetic interaction of the macrocation [Cr 3O(OOCCH3)6(H2O)3] +, almost independent from the presence of polyoxometalate anions.
