Abstract:
The solvothermal oxidation of [Mo3O2(O2CCH3)6(H2O)3]·ZnCl4 has been established as a general route toward [Mo4+3O4]-incorporated polyoxomolybdates (MoIV-POMs). Two unprecedented family members: the first Mo4+-Mo5+-Mo6+ nanocage cluster, Na[MoMoMoO43(OH)Py12]·11H2O (1) and the first heterometallic hybrid, [MoMoZn(PO4)4(OH)2O31py3]·2(C5H6N)·3(C5H5N)·2H2O (2) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography, elemental and DFT theoretical analyses, XPS, mass spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and IR spectroscopy.

Among the sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridized orbitals, sp orbitals have the maximum s character (50%). Consequently, the electrons are held more closely to the nucleus, resulting in stronger and shorter C–H bonds that...
