The synthesis and characterization of the Eu-encrypted heteropolyanion [EuP{sub 5}W{sub 30}O{sub 110}]{sup 12-} are presented. X-ray absorption near-edge structure experiments were used to determine that Eu is trivalent in the anion. Optical spectra confirm this finding. The unusual cyclic voltammogram obtained for the Eu heteropolyanion is discussed in terms of the stability of Eu{sup II} under reducing conditions. Time delayed optical fluorescence data are only consistent with two structurally inequivalent Eu ions, both inside the heteropoly cavity. Lifetime measurements of the {sup 5}D{sub 0} state indicate that the two structurally different Eu sites are not occupied in the same anion. In addition, from complementary measurements on samples made in D{sub 2}O, it is determined that there are three waters coordinated to Eu in one site and only two waters coordinated to Eu in the second site. {sup 31}P NMR and cyclic voltammetry data, obtained from samples with either one or two sites occupied, are indistinguishable. Possible models to explain the presence of two sites are discussed. 19 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
