Recently determined structures of P2Mo180626" and a-P2W180626" show that the molybdate has only Z) 3 symmetry and is therefore chiral. The infrared spectra of both complexes in the solid state and in acetonitrile solution are reported and they confirm that the chirality of the molybdate is not caused by crystal packing forces. Solutions of the tetrabutylammonium salt of the heteropolymolybdate in acetonitrile in the presence of/-brucine sulfate show a significant positive Cotton effect centered at 350 nm ([M] 380=+ 1.4 X 103 deg dm" 1 M" 1). This behavior is attributed to a Pfeiffer effect since analogous measurements with the nonchiral polyanions a-and d-P2W180626",¿ z-SiMo12O404~, and Mo60192" show only minor amounts of induced optical activity. The heteropoly blue H2P2Mov2Mol60626" also exhibits a Pfeiffer effect but of diminished magnitude and no optical activity is associated with the intervalence charge-transfer transitions. An explanation of this behaviorand of the apparent nonexistence of odd reduction states of P2Mo180626" is presented.We recently pointed out1 that, according to the results of careful x-ray structural analyses, 2’3 the heteropolyanion P2Mo180 626~(“P2Mo18”) is chiral in a particularly subtle fashion. Although the structure of P2Mo18 is conventionally represented as an assemblage of edge-and corner-sharing Mo06 octahedra and P04 tetrahedra, with an apparent overall point symmetry Z) 3| i (see Figure la), displacements of mo-lybdenum atoms within their respective Mo06 octahedra lower the total symmetry to Z) 3. The displacements, illustrated in Figure lb, give rise to loops of Mo-O-Mo bonds that are alternately “short”(~ 1.80 Á) and “long"(~ 2.05 Á). The chirality of the structure is caused almost entirely by the displacements of the metal atoms since the 62 oxygen atoms, within 0.05 Á, form a close-packed cluster of Dih symmetry. In contrast to the molybdate, the corresponding “isostructural”
