Synthesis and Characterization of Two New Polymolybdate Clusters Containing Chlorine Based on Mo-POMs and N-heterocycle Templates.

Two new organic-inorganic hybrid materials based on Mo-polyoxometalates and N-heterocycle templates, namely [Ag3(DIE)6][Mo12O36·ClO4]2·Cl (1), and [(IM)4NH4] [Mo12O36·ClO4] (2) [DIE = 1,2-diimidazoloethane, IM = imidazole] have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1 and 2 possess the classical keggin-type heteropolyoxoanion with Cl as the center atom, and this is the first case. IR spectroscopy and gravimetric analysis were performed to further characterize these compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
