Abstract: A new tungsten(Ⅵ) citrate complex K6[W2O5(cit)2]·5H2O which differs from Nasub>6[W2O5·(cit)2]·10H2O, was synthesized by means of an aqueous solution reaction of (NH 4)2WS4 and K3 cit. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study showed that the crystal belongs to a triclinic system. The space group is P-1 with a =1.186 8(3) nm, b =1.371 8(7) nm, c =1.025 3(3) nm; α =107.79(4)°, β =99.27(2)°, γ =66.30(2)°, V =1.454(2) nm3, Z =2. The complex anion contains a O2WOWO2 skeleton with a bridging oxo group and two citrate ligands. Each citrate as a terdentate ligand coordinates to one tungsten atom by means of the deprotonated hydroxy, α-carboxylate, and β-carboxylate groups.
