Assembly of a new Wells–Dawson polyoxometalate-templated compound based on Fe-btb complex

A new Wells–Dawson polyoxometalate-templated compound, (H3btb)[Fe(btb)3(P2W18O62)] · 4H2O (1) (btb = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-y1)butane), was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Compound 1 presents an interesting zigzag chain [Fe(btb)]∞3+ through using bi-dentate “bridging” btb ligands, while the mono-dentate pendant btb molecules act as arms “hugging” the polyanion templates.
