Abstract: The title compound, (C₃H₅N₂)₂[NiNa₂Mo₆O₁₈(OH)₆]·2H₂O, features inversion-generated hexamolybdonickelate anions (Ni site symmetry $\\overline{1}$ ). The anions are linked by the octahedrally coordinated sodium cations into a three-dimensional network containing one-dimensional channels. The imidazolium cations are embedded in the channels and interact with the inorganic framework by way of N-HO hydrogen bonds.
