Abstract
A series of Lindqvist-type polyoxometalate (POM) compounds [Cat][Cp*2M5VO17] (M = Mo (1), W (2)) were obtained from Cp*2M2O5 and NaVO3 in a 1:10 molar ratio in an acidic aqueous-methanol medium ([Cat]: Bu4P+ (1a, 2a), Bu4N+ (1b, 2b), Ph4P+ (1c, 2c), and BuNC5H5+ (1d, 2d)). They have been structurally characterized by 1H and 31P NMR, FT-IR, TGA, ESI, and elemental analysis techniques which support the proposed structures. In antibacterial studies, Ph4P[Cp*2Mo5VO17] (1c) is the compound that shows the highest antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negativebacteria. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
