Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies of aqueous [Ta₆O₁₉]⁸⁻
compared to prior studies of aqueous [Nb₆O₁₉]⁸⁻ reveals key
differences in behaviour, which is likely at the root of the difficultly
in developing polyoxotantalate chemistry. Specifically, where
contact ion-pairing dominates between [Nb₆O₁₉]⁸⁻ and its
counterions, solvent-separated ion-pairing between [Ta₆O₁₉]⁸⁻
and its counterions...
