DescriptionTungstate is a member of the inorganic anion class, specifically a tungstate ion (WO4)²⁻, which plays a significant role in various chemical and biological pathways. Its chemical structure consists of a central tungsten atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. Tungstate's interactions with metal ions can inhibit enzymatic activities, as evidenced by its ability to inhibit phosphatase activity in the presence of Ag+, Zn2+, Cu2+, and molybdate (PMID:40994336 ). Additionally, tungstate has been utilized in the synthesis of luminescent materials, such as sodium europium tungstate (NaEu(WO4)2), highlighting its importance in materials chemistry (PMID:41001854 ). In biological systems, tungstate has been shown to suppress the growth of certain organisms by inhibiting nitrate reductase, indicating its potential role in metabolic pathways (PMID:40980886 ). Furthermore, tungstate nanoparticles have been explored for their applications in imaging and detection technologies, enhancing sensitivity in X-ray detection systems (PMID:40942545 ). Overall, tungstate serves as a versatile compound with implications in both chemical synthesis and biological interactions.
