The anionic framework can be decomposed into two types of layers, viz. MoO 2 As 2 O 7 and Mo 2 As 2 O 14 , which use mixed Mo-O-As and As-O-Mo bridges to achieve a new three-dimensional structure with two types of large channels in which the Na + cations are located.

Disodium molybdenum dioxide diarsenate, Na2MoO2As2O7, has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The structure is built up from MoAs2O12 linear units sharing corners to form a three-dimensional framework containing tunnels running along the a-axis direction in which the Na+ cations are located. In this framework, the AsV atoms are tetra­hedrally coordinated and form an As2O7 group. The MoVI atom is displaced from the center of an octa­hedron of O atoms. Two Na+ cations are disordered about inversion centres. Structural relationships between different compounds: A 2MoO2As2O7 (A = K, Rb), AMOP2O7 (A = Na, K, Rb; M = Mo, Nb) and MoP2O7 are discussed.

A new compound with a non-centrosymmetric structure, potassium tetra­kis­[dioxomolybdenum(IV)] arsenate trioxide, K(MoO2)4O3(AsO4), has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The [(MoO2)4O3(AsO4)]+ three-dimensional framework consists of single arsenate AsO4 tetra­hedra, MoO6 octa­hedra, MoO5 bipyramids and bi­octa­hedral units of edge-sharing Mo2O10 octa­hedra. The [Mo2O8]∞ octa­hedral chains running along the a-axis direction are connected through their corners to the AsO4 tetra­hedra, MoO6 octa­hedra and MoO5 bipyramids, so as to form large tunnels propagating along the a axis in which the K+ cations are located. This structure is compared with compounds containing M 2O10 (M = Mo, V, Fe) dimers and with those containing M 2O8 (M = V) chains.

The title compound is prepared by solid state reaction of a stoichiometric mixture of K2CO3, (NH4)2Mo4O13, and NH4H2AsO4 (1.

The title compound, potassium sodium dioxidomolybden­um(VI) arsenate, K0.78Na0.22MoO2AsO4, was synthesized by a solid-state reaction route. The structure is built up from corner-sharing MoO6 octa­hedra and AsO4 tetra­hedra, creating infinite [MoAsO8]∞ chains running along the b-axis direction. As, Mo and all but one O atom are on special positions (4c) with m symmetry and K (occupancy 0.78) is on a position (4a) of -1 in the tunnels. The possible motion of the alkali cations has been investigated by means of the bond-valance sum (BVS) model. The simulation shows that the Na+ motion appears to be easier mainly along the b-axis direction. Structural relationships between the different compounds of the AMoO2AsO4 (A = Ag, Li, Na, K, Rb) series and MXO8 (M = V; X = P, As) chains are discussed.
