Polyoxomolybdate-Supported Bismuth Trihalides [Mo8O26(BiX3)(2)](4-) (X = Cl, Br, I): Syntheses and Study of Polymorphism
Octamolybdate complexes TBA(4)[Mo8O26(BiX3)(2)] (TBA = n-tetrabutylammonium, X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3)) were obtained by straightforward syntheses from TBA(4)[Mo8O26] and corresponding Bi(III) halides in MeCN. All compounds were structurally characterized; in all cases, {BiX3} fragments are coordinated by two oxygen atoms of polyoxometalate core. Occurring polymorphism is also discussed.
