Today, in modern material research, molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ), a versatile and smart metal oxide, is placed as one of the topmost advanced materials as far as its publication record goes. Specially, the intercalation science of MoO 3 , intercalating any organic and inorganic species into its lamellar space, has a huge impact not only in materials chemistry but also in overall chemical science. This is because such host−guest materials have enormous potential toward electrocatalysis. Surprisingly, the transition-metal-aqua complex intercalated in MoO 3 was not known until we had reported recently (as a communication) by characterizing it using single-crystal X-ray crystallography, even though the applications of transition metals are unbeatable in any field of research. In this work, we have successfully intercalated {Co II (H 2 O) 6 } 2+ into α-MoO 3 layers, leading to the isolation of pink-colored water-soluble crystals of [Mo 2 VI O 6 (CH 3 COO){Co II (H 2 O) 6 } 0.5 ]•H 2 O (1), synthesized in a one-step aqueous-green synthesis and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The homogeneous electrochemistry of compound 1 in its acidic aqueous solution results in the concomitant electrochemical deposition of Co(OH) 2 @MoO 3−x (2). Compound 2, representing a new class of molybdenum bronzes, intercalates β-Co(OH) 2 into the α-MoO 3 layers. The bronze-like properties of compound 2 have been validated by measuring its electrical conductivity values. Compound 2 exhibits a modest electrical conductivity of 1.41 × 10 −5 S cm −1 and a low activation energy (Ea) value of 390 meV at 25 °C. The electrical conductivity of compound 2 increases with increasing temperature. A conductive material is known to be a good electrocatalyst. Compound 2 acts as an efficient heterogeneous electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at a low overpotential of 168 mV to achieve 10 mA cm −2 current density with a Tafel slope value of 98 mV dec −1 . The catalytic performance of compound 2 is demonstrated by its long-term electrolysis stability for 10 h with its Faradic efficiency of 91%.
