Article Abstract
The reversible, stepwise formation of individual Nb-mu-O-Nb linkages during acid condensation of 2 equiv of A-alpha-[SiNb(3)W(9)O(40)](7-) (1) to the tri-mu-oxo-bridged structure A-alpha-[Si(2)Nb(6)W(18)O(77)](8-) (4) is demonstrated by a combination of X-ray crystallography and variable-pD solution (183)W and (29)Si NMR spectroscopy. Addition of DCl to a pD 8.4 solution of 1 (Li(+) salt in D(2)O) results in formation of a mono-Nb-mu-O-Nb-linked dimer, A-alpha-[Si(2)Nb(6)W(18)O(79)](12-) (2; pD = 3.0-1.3). At pD values between 1.6 and 0.3, two isomers (syn and anti) of the di-mu-oxo-bridged dimer, A-alpha-[Si(2)Nb(6)W(18)O(78)](10-) (3), are observed by (183)W NMR (C(2v) and C(2h) symmetry for the syn and anti isomers, respectively; 5 (183)W NMR signals for each isomer in the ratio 2:2:2:2:1). X-ray-quality crystals of syn-3 were isolated in 53% yield (syn-A-alpha-Cs(8)H(2)[Si(2)Nb(6)W(18)O(78)].18H(2)O, orthorhombic, Cmcm, a = 40.847(2), b = 13.2130(7), and c = 16.8179(9) A at 173K, Z = 4, final R(1) = 0.0685). At the low-pD limit of -0.08 (1.2 M DCl), 4 alone is observed. Additional supporting data are provided by variable-pD (29)Si NMR spectroscopy. Reversibility of the above processes was subsequently demonstrated by acquisition of (183)W NMR spectra after incremental additions of LiOH to D(2)O solutions of 4 to effect its stepwise hydrolysis to 2 equiv of 1.

This Perspective summarizes the current state of the art in understanding the local environments of metal sites across homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts by means of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), augmented with first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, focusing on transition-metal nuclei and emphasizing the potential of this approach for understanding reactivity. We illustrate in particular how NMR parameters of transition-metal nuclei provide unique insights into the electronic structures and coordination environments of metal sites, complementary to information that can be obtained from C, N, or O NMR parameters of metal-bound ligands. Using the examples of solid-state NMR analyses of supported and molecular systems containing NMR-active transition-metal nuclei (Mo, Pt, Ag, W, V, and Ti), we show how NMR parameters can be determined and related to structural and electronic features of molecular and surface metal sites.

The stereochemistry of the polycondensation processes within the Keggin-type derivatives is mainly governed by the nature of the assembly group X, being either tetrahedral or trigonal. Commonly, the use of trigonal units {XO} gives rise to open molecular structures resulting from connections of {XM} subunits through metal-oxo cationic fragments. Nevertheless, we show here that condensation of the vanadate VO onto the B-type isomer α-[AsWO] led to the saturated mixed-metal Keggin derivative α-[AsWVO].

Tungsten trioxide can be used as a readily available source in the one-step preparation of a variety of cyanide and chalcocyanide mononuclear and cluster complexes of tungsten. In our study of phase formation in the system 6WO + 8Q + 32NaCN (Q = S, Se or Te) in the temperature range of 250-700 °C, we determined which soluble complex compounds are formed, the temperature limits of their existence and the influence of synthesis time on the composition of the products. As the temperature increases, the process begins with the formation of mononuclear and then cluster complexes and ends with the formation of tungsten dichalcogenides: [W(CN)] → [WS]/[WSO] → [{WQ}(CN)] (Q = S or Se), [{WSO}(CN)] → [{WQ}(CN)] (Q = S, Se or Te) → WQ (Q = S or Se).

Olefin metathesis has become an efficient tool in synthetic organic chemistry to build carbon-carbon bonds, thanks to the development of Grubbs- and Schrock-type catalysts. Olefin coordination, a key and often rate-determining elementary step for d Schrock-type catalysts, has been rarely explored due to the lack of accessible relevant molecular analogues. Herein, we present a fully characterized surrogate of this key olefin-coordination intermediate, namely, a cationic d tungsten oxo-methylidene complex bearing two -heterocyclic carbene ligands─[WO(CH)Cl(IMes)](OTf) () (IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazole-2-ylidene, OTf-triflate counteranion), resulting in a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) geometry, along with its neutral octahedral analogue [WO(CH)Cl(IMes)] ()─and an isostructural oxo-methylidyne derivative [WO(CH)Cl(IMes)] ().

Polyoxometalates such as ammonium paratungstate (APT) constitute an important class of metal oxides with applications for catalysis, (opto)electronics, and functional materials. Structural analyses of solid polyoxometalates mostly rely on X-ray or neutron diffraction techniques, which are largely limited to compounds that can be isolated with long-range crystallographic order. While W NMR has been shown to probe polyoxotungstate structures and dynamics in solution, its application to solids has been extremely limited.
