The synthesis and crystal structure of a zirconocene derivative with α-Keggin mono-aluminum-substituted polyoxotungstate, [α-PW 11Al(OH)O39ZrCp2]26- (Cp = C5H5-) (1), which was obtained by the reaction of α-Keggin mono-aluminum-substituted polyoxotungstate with a biscyclopentadienylzirconium(iv) complex, is described herein. Analytically pure, homogeneous, yellow crystals of the tetra-n-butylammonium salt of polyoxoanion 1, [(n-C4H9)4N] 6[α-PW11Al(OH)O39ZrCp2] 2 (TBA-1), were obtained from the ca. 1:1 reaction of [(n-C 4H9)4N]4[α-PW 11{Al(OH2)}O39] with Cp2Zr(OTf) 2·THF (OTf = O3SCF3-) in acetonitrile solution under an argon atmosphere, followed by precipitation from water and crystallization from acetonitrile. TBA-1 was characterized based on X-ray structure analysis, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and solution (31P, 27Al, 19F, 1H, and 13C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis revealed that the two {PW11AlO40} units are bridged by two bent sandwich Cp2Zr 2+ fragments with C2 symmetry. Each zirconium center was bound to a terminal oxygen atom of the aluminum and tungsten sites and an edge-sharing oxygen atom at the Al-O-W linkage. Further, the stability towards water was investigated by NMR (31P, 1H, and 13C) and FTIR spectroscopy. The η5- cyclopentadienylzirconium fragments were not eliminated from the surface of [α-PW11{Al(OH2)}O39]4- even after 24 h exposure to 50 equiv. of water. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.
