Tetrakis(4,4'-bipyridinium) octamolybdate 4,4'-bipyridine solvate sesquihydrate

Y.-H. Liu and G.-L. Guo

Abstract: The title compound, (C₁₀H₉N₂)₄[Mo₈O₂₆]·C₁₀H₈N₂·1.5H₂O or [4,4'-Hbipy]₄[Mo₈O₂₆]·4,4'-bipy·1.5H₂O (4,4'-bipy is 4,4'-bipyridine), has been prepared under hydrothermal conditions. The anions are held together in an extended one-dimensional chain via O-HO hydrogen bonds and the 4,4'-bipyridine groups are packed together through - stacking interactions. Through these hydrogen-bond contacts and - interactions, an extended three-dimensional supramolecular architecture is formed.
