Abstract

We have synthesized and structurally characterized the first discrete thallium-containing polyoxometalate, [Tl2{B-β-SiW8O30(OH)}2]12- (1). Polyanion 1 was characterized in the solid-state and shown to be solution-stable by 203/205Tl NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and electrochemical studies. The antibacterial activity of 1 was also investigated.
