The reaction of α-H3[PW12O40] with Y(NO3)3 in the presence of DMF or DMSO leads to two complexes with the formulae {Y(DMSO)7}·PW12O40(1) and {[Y(DMF)7]2PW12O40}·PW12O40(2). The crystal structures indicate that complex 1 consists of discrete [YLn]3+ cations and α-Keggin heteropolyanions [PW12O40]3-, whereas, in complex 2, donor-acceptor interaction results in a cation-anion-cation triplet. In addition, the electrochemical behavior of the two complexes indicates the usual successive reduction processes of the W atoms in the anions.

An organic-inorganic mercury coordination compound [Hg(DMSO)2(H2O)]2 [GeW12O40]· DMSO·H2O (DMSO =dimethyl sulfoxide) has been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV spectra, elemental analysis, TG-DTA and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Structural analysis revealed that in the title compound, the mercury is three-coordinated to show the distorted trigonal cone geometry, and depending on the electrostatic interaction to connect the polyanion [α-GeW12O40]^4-. TG-DTA study manifests the decomposition temperature of the polyanion framework in the title compound is 513.5℃, which is much higher than that of the anion framework. It means that the formation of the organic-inorganic mercury coordination compound made the polyanion [α-GeW12O40]^4- to he more stable.

The synthesis and crystal smacture of an polyoxometalate-based organic-inorganic complex [Cu(DMF)3(H2O)212[SiMo12O40].2H2O (DMF = N, N-dimethyl formamide) is described in this article. It was characterized using elemental analysis, thermal analysis, infrared, ultraviolet, and electron spin resonance spectroscopic studies. The X-ray crystallography analysis showed that the copper centers are pentacoordinated to show the square pyramidal geometry, and the polyanion [SiMo12O40]4- which is semi-coordinated to the copper(I/) centers prevents the existence of a sixth ligand. In addition, the intracationic hydrogen interaction enhanced the stability of the copper coordination cation.
AID zigzag polyoxometalate [(CH3)4N]1.50H3.50[Gd(GeW11O39)(H2O)2]·2.5H2O (1) was synthesized by reaction of the monova- cant polyanion [α-GeW11O39]^8- with Gd^3+ ions in aqueous solution and characterized by IR, UV spectra, ICP, and X-ray crystallography. X-ray single-crystal structural analysis indicated that the title compound crystallized in a monoclinic lattice, C2/c space group with α= 2.8201(5), b=2.2885(3), c=2.4033(4) nm, β=123.875 (2)°, V=12.878(4) nm3, Z=8, R1=0.0623, wR2=0.1287. The solid-state structure of the title compound displayed an infinite one-dimensional arrangement built up of [α-GeW11O39]^8- polyanions connected by Gd^Ⅲ cations.
