The unprecedented heptavanadate cluster has been isolated from reactions between trisalkoxide ligands and vanadate in water at pH = 2 as a series of alkylammonium [HxV7O18(H2O)((OCH2)3CR)](4-x)- salts (1-3, R = CH2OH; 4, R = CH3). Their structures have been determined and the partial stability of 4 in water assessed by a combination of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS. The heptavanadate unit reported herein could represent an intermediate species in the formation of decavanadate that is blocked by attachment of tripodal ligands.
