Figure 2
One unit cell of (NH₄)₁₂[Mo₃₆O₁₁₂(OH)₄(H₂O)₁₀]·26H₂O, illustrating the extensive hydrogen-bonding network (yellow dashes). Each [Mo₃₆O₁₁₂(OH)₄(H₂O)₁₀]¹²⁻ cluster contains an internal cavity occupied by two ammonium cations and two solvent water molecules, while intervening layers of solvent water molecules and ammonium cations form an extended network that connects neighboring clusters.
