Abstract: Potassium tetraniobooccatungotosilicate, K8[SiNb4W8O40]·12H2O was pre-pared by the reaction of white powdery tungstic acid, potassium niobate and potas -sium silicate in aqueous solution with pH value adjusted by potassium carbonate。The heteropolyniobotungstate crystallized in cubic space group Pm3m with unit cellparameters ;: a = 1.0640(1)nm,Z=1,V=1 .2045(5)nm3,R=0.055,Rw =0.062。The anion has inverse,Keggin structure,in which the central SiO4 tetrahedron isdistributed statistically in two orientations。The twelve outer metal positions arerandomly occupied by four niobium and eight tungsten atoms. Moreover, infraredspectrat electronic :spectra and thermogram were measured。
