The title compound, (C10H16N4)2[δ-Mo8O26], was synthesized by a hydro­thermal reaction. The structure consists of a centrosymmetric δ-octa­molybdate anion and two 1,1′-(butane-1,4-di­yl)bis­(imidazolium) cations for charge balance. The anions and cations are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional supra­molecular structure.

Comment top

Recently, much of work has been focused on the polyoxometalate with different neutral ligands. In this paper, the structure of the title compound, (I), is described (Fig. 1).

The compound (I) contains a centrosymmetric δ-octamolybdate anion (Allis et al., 2004; Bridgeman, 2002) and two 1,1'-(butane-1,4-diyl)bis(imidazolium) cations. As shown in Fig. 2, each cation connects three anions through hydrogen bonds (Table 2), while each anion links six cations (Fig. 3). All anions and cations are linked each other in this mode to give a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The Mo—O bond distances and angles are in normal range (Kalpana & Vidyasagar, 2005) (Table 1).

Experimental top

1,1'-(Butane-1,4-diyl)bis(imidazole) was synthesized according to the method reported by Ma et al. (2003). A mixture of 1,1'-(butane-1,4-diyl)bis(imidazole) (0.190 g, 0.1 mmol), Na2MoO4.2H2O (0.242 g, 1.0 mmol) and H2O (10 ml) was adjusted to pH 4 with HNO3 (1 mol L-1) and then transferred to and sealed in a 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel container. The container was heated to 423 K for 72 h, then cooled to room temperature. Colorless crystals of (I) were collected (yield 58.3% based on Na2MoO4.2H2O). Analysis calculated for C20H32Mo8N8O26: C 15.32, H 2.06, N 7.15%; found: C 15.30, H 2.07, N 7.18%.

Refinement top

All H atoms on C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93 (CH), 0.97 Å (CH2) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms bonded to N atoms were located on a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically with a distance restraint of 0.86 (3) Å.
