Abstract: A novel polyoxometalate [H3O]2[Pmo5Mo7O40(VO)4]·6Py(Py=pyridine) was synthesized and characterized by IR spectrometry, TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group(C2/m) with a=1.3680(3) nm, b=2.1740(4) nm, c=1.1630(2) nm, β=118.62(3)°, V=3.0362(10) nm3, Z=2, and R1(wR2)=0.0772(0.2312). The compound contains a highly reduced vanadylpolymolybdophosphate polyoxometalate anion with a four-capped structure. The four {VO} units cap four opposite pits of the pseudo-Keggin core {PMo12O40}.

Key words: Highly reduced polyoxometalate anion, Hydrothermal synthesis, Four-capped, Pseudo-Keggin core
