Abstract: Decatungstic acid can be formed by the reaction of white powdery tungstic acid in aqueous solution containing polyvinyl alcohol. The stability and photochromism of decatungstic acid in homogeneous system have been studied through UV-Vis spectra, ESR, pHtitration and W(Ⅴ) determination. The results show that the reduction degree of decatungstate anion corresponds to the acidity of the solution. One-electron reduced form is produced mainly at high pHvalue while two-electron reduced form mainly at low pHvalue.

Key words: White powdery tungstic acid (WPTA), Polyvinyl alcohol, Decatungstic acid, Stability, Photochromism
