Abstract:
In the title compound, (C(14)H(16)N(4))(3)[PMo(12)O(40)](2), the asymmetric unit contains one [PMo(12)O(40)](3-) anion and one and a half 3,3'-(p-phenyl-enedimethyl-ene)diimidazol-1-ium cations. Each cation links two [PMo(12)O(40)](3-) anions, which link three cations through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating an infinite supra-molecular chain-like structure.

EDTA: Chemistry and Properties
Polydentate ligands are most widely used in complexometric titrations because they form more stable complexes with the metal ions than mono- or bidentate ligands due to the chelate effect. Examples of polydentate ligands are ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), crown ethers, and cryptands. The most important feature of optimal polydentate ligands is the ability to form 1:1 complexes in a single-step process. Amino carboxylic acid derivatives are frequently used as complexing agents. EDTA is...
