Abstract:
In the title compound, {(C(20)H(20)N(4))(2)[Mo(8)O(26)]}(n), the asymmetric unit contains half of an [Mo(8)O(26)](4-) anion and one 3,3'-[(biphenyl-4,4'-di-yl)dimethyl-ene]diimidazol-1-ium dication. In the anion, four distorted [MoO(6)] octa-hedra are connected via edge-sharing, forming an [Mo(4)O(13)](2-) building block, composed of Mo-O(t), Mo-O(μ2), Mo-O(μ3) and Mo-O(μ4) units, with Mo-O distances ranging from 1.6858 (15) to 2.4785 (13) Å. The γ-type [Mo(8)O(26)](4-) anion is completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry and is linked into an infinite chain along [100] by corner-sharing. The anionic chains and the cations are joined by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating layers extending parallel to (001).

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.
