Reactions of $MoOCl_5^{2-}$ with $[PW_{11}O_{39}]^{7-};and;[SiW_{11}O_{39}]^{8-}$ have been studied spectrophotometrically and several transient complexes have been discovered. Transient species initially formed are probably $[Mo_2O_4(PW_{11}O_{39})_2]^{12-};and;[Mo_2O_4(SiW_{11}O_{39})_2]^{14-}$. Spectra change gradually, indicating formation of transient isomers of $[PMoW_{11}O_{40}]^{4-};and;[SiMoW_{11}O_{40}]^{5-}$, which again transform into the stable isomers. The transient isomers absorb light much more strongly than the stable isomers in the visible range.
