One-dimensional silver(<scp>i</scp>) chain of lacunary α-Keggin anions

Abstract

A novel chain-like silver polyoxotungstophosphate is formed when Ag(I) metal centres, exhibiting an unusual eight-coordination fashion, bridge a monolacunary [PW11O39]7- anion to four bridging mu2-oxygen atoms of a neighbouring lacunary alpha-Keggin anion.
