Reaction of the Keggin-type polyanion [PW11O39]7- with the tetrakis-carbene ruthenium precursor [RuLMe 4Cl2] (LMe = 1,3-dimethylimidazolidine-2-ylidene), in water, results in the formation of Na4K9[(PW9O34)2(cis-WO2)(cis-RuLMe 2)]·23H2O, which is the first carbene derivative of a polyoxometalate. The oxidation state of the ruthenium is confirmed by XANES experiments.
