The reaction of α-H3[PW12O40] with Y（NO3）3 in the presence of DMF or DMSO leads to two complexes with the formulae {Y（DMSO）7}·PW12O40（1） and {[Y（DMF）7]2PW12O40}·PW12O40（2）. The crystal structures indicate that complex 1 consists of discrete [YLn]3＋ cations and α-Keggin heteropolyanions [PW12O40]3-, whereas, in complex 2, donor-acceptor interaction results in a cation-anion-cation triplet. In addition, the electrochemical behavior of the two complexes indicates the usual successive reduction processes of the W atoms in the anions.

The synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, thermal properties and electrochemistry of the new complex formulated as {Er（DMSO）7}PW12O40 are reported. The single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the crystal crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a=11.767（2）, b=14.909（3）, c=34.905（7）A, β=98.97（3）°, Mr=3591.33, V=6049（2）A^3, Dc=3.944g/cm^3, Z=4, GOOF=1.098, F（000）=6340, R=0.0490 and wR=0.1202. Crystal structure analysis indicates that the Er（Ⅲ） is seven-coordinate with a distorted pentagonal bipyramid and combines to the anion [PW12O40]3- via static electric force.

A new sandwich transition metal substituted polyoxotungstate, [NH3（CH2）4NH3]6[Co4（H2O）2（B-α-GeW9O34）2]}·7H2O 1, was hydrothermaUy synthesized and characterized by IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the crystal crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 16.6073（6）, b = 15.3333（5）, c = 19.9869（7） A, β = 103.41（1）°, Mr = 5481.38, V = 4950.8（3） A3, Z = 2, Dc = 3.677 g/cm^3, F（000） = 4900, μ（MoKa） = 22.165 mm^-1, GOOF = 1.005, the final R = 0.0228 and wR = 0.0527. The crystal structure indicates that the [Co4（H2O）2（B-α-GeW9O34）2]^12- polyoxoanion contains two trivacant Keggin [B-α-GeW9O34]^10- fragments in a staggered fashion linked via a rhomb-like Co4O16 group in a centrosymmetric arrangement （C2h symmetry） leading to a sandwich-type structure.
