The anions included Keggin [SiW12O40]4-, [SiW11O39]8-, [SiW10O36]8 , [SiW9O34]10-, Dawson [P2W18O62]6-, [P2W17O61]10-, and metal-substituted Keggin derivatives such as [PW11MnO40]7-, [SiW10V2O40]6-, and [GeWgCu3O37]10-. Common species observed in the mass spectra arose from the protonation or cationization of either intact or dehydrated precursor ions. Compared to saturated and substituted POMs, lacunary POMs exhibited distinguished MS behaviors such as a much higher degree of cationization and dehydration of the bare polyoxoanions present in the mass spectra. In addition, some of these lacunary POMs were found to undergo subtle speciation change in solution.
