A new β-octa-molybdate(VI) salt based on 1,4-bis-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)butane
Abstract:
The title compound, bis-[2,2'-dimethyl-3,3'-(butane-1,4-di-yl)diimidazol-1-ium] β-octa-molybdate(VI), (C(12)H(20)N(4))(2)[Mo(8)O(26)], was produced by hydro-thermal reaction of an acidified aqueous solution of Na(2)MoO(4) and 1,4-bis-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)butane (hereafter L). The structure of the title compound consists of the β-octa-molybdate anions having a center of symmetry, and protonated [H(2)L](2+) cations, which link the β-octa-molybdate anions, generating a supra-molecular chain via hydrogen bonds.

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
