Abstract: In repeating and extending the syntheses of organo-arsenic polytungstates,we found that the "Degradation Method",taking sodium metatungstate as the starting material,was much more profita-ble.The known compound (CN3H6)5[(C6H5As)2W6O25H]·2H2O(1) was read-ily reproduced with a high yield.Anew compound (CN3H6)6[(p-OH,m-NO2C6H3As)2W6O25](2) was likewise synthesized.This "Degradation Method" using the reaction of sodium metatungstate with organo-anti-monate led to the isolation of four compounds with definite composition although amorphous in appearance.The preparations of organo-arsenic polymolybdates and organo-antimony polymolybdates were also studied and six new organo-arsenic polymolybdates were isolated: (CN3H6)5[(C6H5As)2MoO25H]H2O(3),(CN3H6)4[(n-C3H7As)2Mo5O21]·2H O (4),(CNH)4[(n-C3H7As)2Mo6O24](5),Cs2[(CH3)2AsMo4O15H](6),(NH4)6[(P-OH,m-NO2C6H3·As)2Mo6O25](7),and (CN3H6)6[(p-OH,m-NO2C6H3 As)2Mo6O25](8).No definite corresponding organo-antimony polymo-lybdate with definite composition has been isolated yet.
