The title compound, [Al(H2O)6][Cr(OH)6Mo6O18]·10H2O, hexaaquaaluminium hexahydroxidooctadecaoxidomolybdochromate(III) decahydrate, crystallizes isotypically with its gallium analogue [Ga(H2O)6][Cr(OH)6Mo6O18].10H2O. In the structure of the title compound, both the [Al(H2O)6]3+ cation and the Anderson-type [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18]3- anion lie on centres of inversion. The anion is composed of seven edge-sharing octahedra, six of which are MoO6 octahedra that are arranged hexagonally around the central Cr(OH)6 octahedron. The anions are linked to each other by O-H...O hydrogen bonds into infinite chains along [100]. These chains are further connected with the [Al(H2O)6]3+ cations through O-H...O hydrogen bonds into sheets parallel to (01[\overline{1}]). O-H...O hydrogen bonds involving all the lattice water molecules finally link the sheets into a three-dimensional network.
