Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Tris(L-iso-leucinium(2S,3S))-dodecatungstophosphate 4.5 hydrate

抄録

The asymmetric unit of the title salt contains two symmetrically independent [PW₁₂O₄₀]^3- polyoxoanions, six L-iso-leucinium (2S,3S) cations and nine solvent water molecules. The anion shows a classical α-Keggin structure, which consists of a central PO₄ tetrahedron surrounded by four vertex-sharing W₃O₁₃ trimers. The cation is mono-protonated L-iso-leucine amino acid. Most of the N-H units and all O-H units of six cations are involved in hydrogen-bonding interactions as H-donors, and some of the terminal and bridged oxygen atoms of the anions and the carbonyl oxygen atoms of three cations act as H-acceptors. The water molecules are also involved in hydrogen-bonding interactions. The extensive intermolecular N-H…O and O-H…O hydrogen bonds make a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network in the crystal structure.
