Implications of the unusual redox behavior exhibited by the teteropolyanion [EuP{sub 5}W{sub 30}O{sub 110}]{sup 12-}

Conference ·
OSTI ID:441117
We report on the novel electrochemical behavior of the heteropolyanion [EuP{sub 5}W{sub 30}O{sub 110}]{sup -12}, with emphasis on the Eu valence in both the oxidized and reduced forms. In aqueous electrolytes, the P-W-O framework is electroactive and can reversibly accept up to 10 electrons before the potential becomes reducing enough for H{sub 2} evolution. Eu L{sub 3}-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) results demonstrate that Eu is also electroactive under the same conditions. Implications of this work are discussed re long-standing questions about intermediate- valent materials.
