Ethylenediamine trimolybdate, (C2H10N2)[Mo3O10], has been hydrothermal
ly synthesized (180 degrees C, 24h, autogeneous pressure). It crystall
izes in the monoclinic system (space group P2(1)/n) with a=8.0865(2) A
ngstrom, b=14.4902(2) Angstrom, c=8.9306(2) Angstrom, beta=98.170(1)de
grees, and Z=4. Its structure consists of hitherto unknown infinite ch
ains running parallel to the a axis made up of distorted MoO6 octahedr
a connected by corners, edges, and faces. Ethylenediamine cations are
located between the chains and ensure the connectivity of the structur
e by hydrogen bonds. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
