[V12O30F4(H2O)2]4 −: One-pot synthesis and characterization of a novel fluorinated dodecavanadate

The synthesis of a novel fluorinated isopolyvanadate with stepwise characterization of the reaction mixture together with structural characterization of the prepared cluster is reported. The title compound was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy and the reactivity was monitored by 51V NMR spectroscopy to elucidate the hydrolysis.
