Abstract
Two novel dibenzo-18-crown-6 sodium isopolytungstates, [(DB18C6)(CH3OH)Na](2)W(6)O(19)(.)DB18C6(.)H(2)O 1 and [(DB18C6)(DMF)(2)Na](4)W(10)O(32)(.)2DMF(.)2H(2)O 2, have been synthesized in mixed methanol and acetonitrile solvents and characterized by elemental analysis, TGA, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 23.182(8), b = 19.527(2), c = 18.737(3) Angstrom, beta = 115.15(2)degrees, V = 7678(3) Angstrom(3), Z = 4, and R1(wR2) = 0.0611(0.1504). The compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 16.516(2), b = 22.325(6), c = 20.425(7) Angstrom, beta = 91.78(2)degrees, V = 7528(3) Angstrom(3), Z = 2, and R1(wR2) = 0.0397(0.0773). The compound 1 exhibits a novel organic-inorganic sandwich-type structure, in which the crown ether-sodium complexes are coordinated to the terminal oxygen atoms of W6O192-. In compound 2, all Na+ ions are thoroughly enveloped into the organic moieties of crown ether and DMF molecules and are connected with the 'naked' polyanions W10O324- via the electrostatic attraction.
