Abstract:
Four new crystalline structures within the Na-Fe-Mo-O system are reported: sodium tetrairon pentamolydate (1), NaFe(4)(MoO(4))(5), alpha-sodium diiron trimolybdate (2), alpha-NaFe(2)(MoO(4))(3), beta-sodium diiron trimolybdate (3), beta-NaFe(2)(MoO(4))(3), trisodium diiron trimolybdate (4), Na(3)Fe(2)(MoO(4))(3). All these structures belong to orthomolybdate class of compound and are described as networks of [FeO(6)] octahedra and [MoO(4)] tetrahedra. They are compared with each other and with other related structures.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
