Abstract

From the acidified solution of the Na2WO4-HNO3-Sr(NO3)2-H2O system, the white crystals of sodiumstrontium paratungstate B Na6Sr2[W12O40(OH)2]·24H2O (I) are isolated. By FTIR spectroscopy, the isopoly anion is shown to belong to the structural type of paratungstate B. Using single crystal X-ray analysis the structure of I is solved: monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 12.5435(3) A, b = 12.1544(3) A, c = 18.8080(4) A, β = 93.440(2)°, V = 2862.28(12) A3 at T = 293 K, Z = 2, ρcalc = 4.207 g/cm3. Found that [W12O40(OH)2]10− paratungstate B anions are cross-linked in a layer via the SrO9 and NaO6 polyhedra, and cross-linking in a three-dimensional structure occurs via the NaO6 and NaO7 polyhedra. By DTA, the thermal properties of the salt are studied. By FTIR spectroscopy, it is found that under annealing of I the [W12O40(OH)2]10− paratungstate B anion exists in the structure up to 200 °C.
