Prediction of Solution Behavior via Calorimetric Measurements Allows for Detailed Elucidation of Polyoxometalate Transformation

Journal Article · · Inorganic Chemistry
The solution behavior of a polyoxometalate cluster, LiNa-U24Pp12 (Li24Na24[(UO2O2)24(P2O7)12]) that consists of 24 uranyl ions, peroxide groups, and 12 pyrophosphate linkers, was successfully predicted based on new thermodynamic results using a calorimetric method recently described for uranyl peroxide nanoclusters (UPCs), molybdenum blues, and molybdenum browns. The breakdown of LiNa-U24Pp12 and formation of U24 (Li24[UO2O2OH]24) was monitored in situ via Raman spectroscopy using a custom heating apparatus. A combination of analytical techniques confirmed the simultaneous existence of U24Pp12 and U24 midway through the conversion process and U24 as the single end product. The application of a molecular weight filter resulted in a complete and successful separation of UPCs from solution and, in conjunction with DOSY results, confirmed the presence of large intermediate cluster building blocks.
