A new compound, (H3O)3{Na3(H2O)13(Cu(Gly)2)2(H2W12O42)}·11H2O (1), has been synthesized and structurally characterized, which represents the first example of a polyoxotungstate-surface being decorated with amino acid ligand. Two cis-{Cu(Gly)2}2+ engraft into the (H2W12O42)10- with Cu-O bond of 0.241 2(7) nm, and Na+ ions linked these (Cu(Gly)2)2(H2W12O42)6- clusters into a one-dimensional chain. CCDC: 278000.
A binuclear vanadium complex NH4[(VⅣO)2( Ⅲ(H2O)9] wa s synthesized by reaction of NH3VO3, nitrilotriacetic acid and EuCl3 in one aque ous solution. The crystal X-ray analysis shows that the complex contains one bin uclear vanadium anion [(VⅣO)2( -and one [EuⅢ(H2O)9]3+ cation. T he molecules are built up to a three-dimensional supramolecular structure throug h hydrogen bonding. CCDC: 238716.
