Isolation of a stable lacunary Dawson-type polyoxomolybdate cluster.
A polyoxotetradecamolybdate cluster [Mo(14)O(38)(OAc)(6)](2-), which has a lacunary core of the Wells-Dawson structure, is isolated by the reduction of [Mo(6)O(19)](2-). The Mo(14) core is comprised of a mixed valence of [Mo(V)(4)Mo(VI)(10)], exhibiting multi-step reversible redox processes that experience both oxidation and reduction.
