Abstract:
Formation of one of the most representative polyoxometalate (POM) archetypes, namely the Lindqvist anion M6O192- with M = MoVI or WVI, was considered as elusive in aqueous solution. Herein, we report on the host-guest stabilization of the M6O192- species with M = Mo or W from aqueous solution using γ-cyclodextrin as trapping agent. The adduct {M6O19@γ-CD}2- reveals remarkable hydrolytic stability that offers new opportunities for exploring potentialities of molybdates or tungstates in the field of biology and medicine, when combined to CDs as efficient drug carrier/delivery agents.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
