Abstract

Assembly of organic moiety with metal-oxide cluster to generate a new three dimensional supramolecular/hydrogen bonded network based on isopolymolybdate Abstract. A new octa-molybdate formulated as (C 2 H 6 N 4 ) 2 [β-Mo 8 O 26 ].4H 2 O (1) has been isolated by conventional solution method and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method, IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption, thermogravimetric analysis and cyclic voltammetry. Compound 1 crystallizes in the Triclinic system, space group P-1 with unit cell dimensions, a = 8.348 (2) Å, b = 10.154 (2) Å, c = 10.823 (3) Å, α = 68.35 • (2), β = 71.59 • (2), 7= 78.55 • (2), V = 805.5 (3) Å 3 , and Z = 2. The crystal structure of 1 is built up from octa-molybdate [β-Mo 8 O 26 ] 4− clusters connected through hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
