Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) protected [V6O13{(OCH2)3C–NH2}2]2− built from the Lindqvist-type hexavanadate. The reaction of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (BOC2O) with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) led to the organic derivative [(OCH2)3C–NH(BOC)] that reacts with the decavanadate in dimethylacetamide (DMA) to form the [V6O13{(OCH2)3 C–NH(BOC)}2]2− anion. The tetrabutylammonium (TBA+) salt of this hybrid polyoxovanadate, TBA2[V6O13{(OCH2)3C–NH(BOC)}2]· 2DMA, has been characterized in the solid-state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy, and in solution by multinuclear (1H, 13C, 15N and 51V) and DOSY NMR, and UV–visible spectroscopy.
