•Novel polyoxometalates were prepared using a few types of organophosphates.•X-ray analysis indicates an inverted-Keggin structure for novel polyoxometalates.•They would be able to connect with other organic groups to form large molecules.•They were also characterized with UV–vis, IR and Raman spectroscopy.
Novel polyoxometalates with an inverted-Keggin structure were prepared and isolated as the tetra-alkylammonium salts from an aqueous organic solution. They were characterized using elemental analysis, X-ray analysis, UV–vis, IR and Raman spectroscopy. This study demonstrates that these novel polyoxometalates with an inverted-Keggin structure could be used as a new building block material because they have both a carboxy group and an alkene part, which could react with other organic substrates.
