A series of head-on complexes of lanthanoid containing germanotungstates was isolated from a one pot reaction in an acetate buffer at pH 4.5. This convenient approach brought forward the [{l_brace}Ln(CH{sub 3}COO)GeW{sub 11}O{sub 39}(H{sub 2}O){r_brace}{sub 2}]{sup 12-} (Ln=Eu{sup III}, Gd{sup III}, Tb{sup III}, Dy{sup III}, Ho{sup III}, Er{sup III}, Tm{sup III}, and Yb{sup III}) family with acetate chelators in the rarely observed {mu}{sub 2}: {eta}{sup 2}-{eta}{sup 1} mode. All compounds were structurally characterized using various solid state analytics, such as single crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The isostructural polyanions crystallize in the monoclinic system (S.G. P2{sub 1}/c). Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed on the Gd{sup III}-complex which exhibits near perfect Curie-type behavior. -- Graphical abstract: A new series of acetate-chelated lanthanoid containing germanotungstates [{l_brace}Ln(CH{sub 3}COO)GeW{sub 11}O{sub 39}(H{sub 2}O){r_brace}{sub 2}]{sup 12-} (Ln=Eu to Yb) is available from a convenient one-pot reaction. The influence of the lanthanide contraction on the structural properties is discussed and the magnetic properties of the Gd-representative are investigated in detail. Display Omitted Research Highlights: {yields}Lanthanoid containing germanotungstates with acetate chelators in {mu}{sub 2} : {eta}{sup 2}-{eta}{sup 1} mode. {yields}Lanthanoid contraction in [{l_brace}Ln(CH{sub 3}COO)GeW{sub 11}O{sub 39}(H{sub 2}O){r_brace}{sub 2}]{sup 12-} (Ln=Eu{sup III}-Yb{sup III}). {yields}Facile one-pot synthesis of the lanthanoid containing germanotungstate series.
