Lacunary tungstotellurates(IV): [Te2W17O61]12-, [Te2W16O58(OH)2]14- and [Te2W18O62(OH)2]10-.
A simple procedure is reported for the isolation of the new lacunary tungstotellurate(IV) [Te(2)W(17)O(61)](12-) (1a) in multi-gram quantities, with (125)Te and (183)W NMR spectroscopy indicating retention of the solid state structure in solution. The structurally related polyanions [Te(2)W(16)O(58)(OH)(2)](14-) (2a) and [Te(2)W(18)O(62)(OH)(2)](10-) (2b) were also isolated.
