Monopotassium monosodium hexa-hydrogen α-hexa-molybdoplatinate(IV) undeca-hydrate
Abstract:
The title compound, KNa[H(6)PtMo(6)O(24)]·11H(2)O, contains a discrete hexa-molybdoplatinate(IV) [H(6)PtMo(6)O(24)](2-) poly-anion (1 symmetry), which has the highest level of protonation. Five O atoms of the central PtO(6) octa-hedron (μ(3)-atoms, Oc) and one O atom of an outer edge-sharing MoO(6) octa-hedron (O bridging μ(2)-atom, Ob) are protonated. The polyanions are connected by almost linear O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between protonated and unprotonated Ob atoms. Further consolidation of the crystal structure is accomplished by extensive O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding involving the uncoordinated water mol-ecules. The two independent K(+) cations are equally disordered about a twofold rotation axis.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
