“…In this context, the [Mo 7 O 24 ] 6À heptamolybdate anion has been isolated with numerous different counter-cations such as 4-aminopyridinium, Npentylammonium,diethylenetriammonium,N,N,N 0 ,N 0 -tetramethylethylenediammonium, tetramethylammonium, guanidinium, hexanediammonium, butan-1-aminium, ammonium, potassium and sodium (Romá n et al, 1985(Romá n et al, , 1988(Romá n et al, , 1990(Romá n et al, , 1992Don & Weakly, 1981;Gatehouse & Leverett, 1968;Sjö bom & Hedman, 1973;Niu et al, 1996;Himeno et al, 1997;Reinoso et al, 2008;Ftini, 2015;Khandolkar et al, 2016). As a continuation of our work in this area (Sarr et al, 2018), we now describe the synthesis and structure of the title compound (I), which is notable for the incorporation of both protonated [C 4 H 7 N 2 ] + 2-methylimidazolium cations and neutral C 4 H 6 N 2 2-methylimidazole molecules in the crystal.…”
