Abstract: An organic-inorganic hybrid compound constructed from a Keggin-type molybdophosphate polyoxoanion, a Cu^I coordination cation and a protonated 1,10-phenanthroline subunit, namely 1,10-phenanthrolinium bis(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(I) dodecamolybdophosphate, (C₁₂H₁₀N₂)[Cu(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂][PMo₁₂O₄₀] or (H₂phen)[Cu(phen)₂][PMo₁₂O₄₀], has been prepared under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The polyoxoanion is constructed from a central PO₄ tetrahedron which shares its O atoms with four {Mo₃O₁₆} trinuclear groups, each of which is made up of three edge-sharing {MoO₆} octahedra. In the [Cu(phen)₂]⁺ counter-cation, the Cu atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands.
