Abstract

The heteropoly tungstogallate acid H5GaW12O40 has been synthesized and characterized. Colorless octahedral crystals of the title compound were crystallized from acetonitrile with formula H5GaW12O40. The single crystal X-ray structure analysis of the title compound revealed that it crystallized in monoclinic system, space group Cm with a = 17.691 (4) Å, b = 25.065 (5) Å, c = 15.315 (3) Å, β = 125.21 (3)°, V= 5548.5 (19) Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal consists of the heteropolyanion GaW12O 5−40 and H+ cations. The heteropolyanion GaW12O 5−40 is an independent unit and assumed to have the Keggin structure.
