title: Quick and selective synthesis of Li6[α-P2W18O62]·28H2O soluble in various organic solvents.
abstract: Herein we report the synthesis of α-Dawson type POM, Li6[α-P2W18O62]·28H2O, directly from the use of Li2WO4 as the tungstate source. The salt obtained was soluble not only in water but also in a range of polar and non-polar organic solvents, such as benzene.
