Heteropoly Electrolytes

Baker et al. prepared the above-mentioned 1 6 compound by adding an aqueous solution of tetraamminecarbonatocobalt(III) nitrate to a boiling solution of ammonium paramolybdate. They formulated the compound as (NH4.)2H6-[Co(Mo04)5] 7 H2O according to Miolati-Rosenheim. The next proposed formula [(XOeMoeOis) -, where X represents Cr(III), Fe(III). Co(III) or AiaH) and n is an undetermined integer which is probably small, was based on potentio-metric titrations, dehydration experiments, magnetic measurements etc. Furthermore, the correct formula was claim l for the ammoniiun salt of the chromium(III) com-

The versatility of the Field-Durrant solution for the synthesis of cobalt(III) complexes depends largely upon high lability of tricarbonatocobaltate(III) in the substitutions, but kinetic studies concerning such labile nature are limited at present. However, pioneering papers by Davies and Hung studied the substitutions of tricarbonato-cobaltate(III) with pyridine ethylen liamine 1,2-prof ediamine (1,2-pn) and 1,3-propanediamine 1,3-pn) A solution prepared by dissolving Na3[Co(C03 J

Polyoxometalates encompass complexes known historically as heteropoly- and isopolyanions (or acids). Other labels, e.g., heteropoly electrolytes, metal-oxygen cluster anions, have also been applied from time to time. The present chapter will discuss only those complexes containing V, Nb, Ta, Mo, and/or W as the major component (the addenda atoms). The relatively small number of polyoxochromates is excluded, since Crvl is restricted to tetrahedral four-coordination by oxide, and these complexes are if anything more closely related to the nonmetal polyoxoanions like sulfates.

Studies of the solution properties of heteropoly acids have been somewhat spares despite the general interest in these compounds for many years. Deterents to such studies have been primarily the instability of the compounds and the uncertainty concerning their composition. Conductivity and pH measurements on the heteropoly acids H4[PMonVO40] and H5[PMoi0V2O40] in aqueous solutions and mixed solvents has already been discussed. The acids are strong 1-4 and 1-5 electrolytes, respectively. Activity coefficients of ammonium 6-heteropolymolybdates have been reported and shown these to be 1 3 electrolytes197. ... 

Reduced transition-metal-substituted heteropoly tungstates can be transferred into nonpolar solvents by the same method as the one developed by Pope at al. for their oxidized parents, using THABr as the transfer agent. However, acetate ions from buffer solution used as an electrolyte during the reduction remain attached to the transition metal after the transfer. 

The heteropoly anions PV2Moio0 o and PV WioOj o are each shown to exist as mixtures of the five possible stereoisomers by P NMR spectroscopy. Controlled potential electrolytic reduction of HsPV ioOi o yields PV W Wio-(I) and PV2 Wio0 o (II) which were isolated as potassium salts. The ESR spectrum of anion I consists of superimposed 8- and 15-line components with (g) = 1.952 and (a) = 104.5 and 53 G. The relative intensities of the 8- and 15-line spectra are in quantitative agreement with the assumption that electron exchange between neighboring vanadium atoms (V-O-V) is rapid, but that in isomers with remote vanadium atoms (V-O-W-O-V, etc.) the electron is effectively trapped on a single vanadium. The ESR spectrum of anion II has a normal 15-line pattern arising from the triplet state. The intervalence optical transition in anion I occurs at 8.8 kK.

Another alternative solid state electrolyte under study is the use of solid-state proton conductors such as heteropoly acid (HPA) electrolytes. The two most common HPAs are H4SiWi2O40 (SiWA) and H3PW12O40 (PWA) [121]. The HPA materials have high proton conductivities at room temperature (solid form of pure SiWA = 27 mS.cm i). The traditional problem with solid state proton conductors is their poor film making properties that make forming a separator difficult. 

Electrolyte is formed from a poly (isopoly or heteropoly) acid. Specific examples are phosphotungstic acid (PWA) and phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) for which conductivities of 17 and 18 mS/ cm, respectively, were reported.
