Isostructural neutral sodium heteropoly decatungstolanthanidates(III) Na9[Ln(W5O18)2]·35H2O (Ln = Tm (SI), Yb (SII)) with Peacock-Weakley type anion and Tm, and Yb as heteroatoms were synthesized using procedure, described in [1]. The compounds were obtained as colorless crystals from the aqueous solutions acidified up to Z=0.8 (Z=v(H+)/v(WO42-)) from Ln(NO3)3 – Na2WO4 – HNO3 – H2O systems. The formation of the salts is going according to the reaction:

$$Ln^{3+} + 10 WO_4^{2-} + 8 H^+ = [Ln(W_5O_{18})_2]^{9-} + 4H_2O.$$

The salts were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The latter confirmed that the compounds have Peacock-Weakley type anion, and they are isostructural. There is one case of isostructurality of acidic double salts K3Na4H2[Ln(W5O18)2]·(21-22)H2O (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy), which crystallize in a monoclinic crystal system, in space group P21/n [2]. Isolated salts with Tm and Yb heteroatoms belong to the second group represented by neutral salts Na9[Ln(W5O18)2]·35H2O (Ln = Y, Nd, Eu [3], Tb, Dy, Ho, Er [4]), which crystallize in a triclinic space group P-1.

Na9[Ln(W5O18)2]·35H2O (Ln= Tm, Yb) consists of decatungstolanthanidate(III) anion, eight octahedrally coordinated Na+ cations, one tetragonal-pyramidal Na+ cation, and 35 H2O molecules. The decatungstolanthanidate(III) anion is comprised of two [W5O18]6- lacunary units, which coordinate to a central Tm3+ or Yb3+ cation in the form of square antiprism.
