Abstract:
A novel chain molybdenum compound, [[Mo2O6(C6H5NO2)].H2O]n, which was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, consists of an infinite rail-like chain formed by molybdenum oxide units linked by zwitterionic nicotinic acid ligands. Each Mo atom is coordinated octahedrally by six O atoms and the MoO6 octahedra are linked to one another via edge-sharing to produce a zigzag polymeric chain, with nicotinic acid ligands located, alternately, on each side of the rail-like chain plane.
