Single crystals of the potassium salt (K{sub 5}, H{sub 3}O)[SiV{sub 3}W{sub 9}O{sub 40}H]·xH{sub 2}O of the vanadium tri-substituted α-Keggin dodecatungstosilicate were prepared and analyzed by vibrational, EPR and {sup 51}V NMR spectroscopy. Varying the synthesis conditions allows crystallization of partially reduced anions. The crystal structure was determined for both oxidized (V{sup 5+}) and partially reduced (V{sup 4+/5+}) potassium salts. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data and solid state {sup 51}V-NMR spectra confirm the occurrence of a single vanadium site in a cubic structure due to rotational disorder of the Keggin ion. Partially reduced compounds crystallize within the same structure as fully oxidized ones. EPR experiments confirm strong interaction of V{sup 4+} with two V{sup 5+} ions, in accordance with insertion of a V{sub 3} subunit into the lacunary Keggin ion as designed in the synthesis method. The 3D-edifice is composed of K{sup +}/H{sub 2}O counter-sublattice with evidence of tunable water occupancy. - Graphical abstract: Relative arrangements of HPA clusters in (K{sub 5}, H{sub 3}O)[SiV{sub 3}W{sub 9}O{sub 40}]·xH{sub 2}O. - Highlights: • We prepared single crystals of the potassium salt (K{sub 5}, H{sub 3}O)[SiV{sub 3}W{sub 9}O{sub 40}H]·xH{sub 2}O. • The synthesis was designed to give the α-1,2,3-[SiV{sub 3}W{sub 9}O{sub 40}] Keggin ion. • Strict pH control was necessary to avoid vanadium partial reduction. • Reduced compounds crystallize within the same structure as fully oxidized ones. • EPR confirms strong interaction of V{sup 4+} with two V{sup 5+} ions in a V{sub 3} subunit.
