Tris(2-methoxyethanaminium) dodecamolybdophosphate trihydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the polyoxidometalate-based organic-inorganic hybrid title compound, (C3H10NO)3[PMo 12O40]·3H2O, consists of one α-Keggin-type [PMo12O40]3- polyoxido-anion, three independent [CH3-O-CH2-CH 2-NH3]+ cations and three solvent water molecules. The polyoxidoanion shows characteristic features with respect to bond lengths and angles. In the crystal structure, extensive intermolecular N - H⋯O and O - H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the organic cations, inorganic anions and solvent water molecules leads to a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
