[(NH₄)₂(Mo₄O₁₃)]_n: a novel two-dimensional polyoxomolybdate(VI) framework

A. Briceño and R. Atencio

Abstract: The structure of diammonium tetramolybdate, [(NH₄)₂(Mo₄O₁₃)]_n, consists of puckered layers built up from the self-assembly of chains of tetrameric units [Mo₄O₁₃]^2- linked through corner-sharing octahedra. The ammonium cations are located between consecutive layers, yielding a three-dimensional array via extensive N-HO hydrogen bonding, in which terminal oxo groups of the surface network are involved.
