The compound (NH4)15[Mo57Fe6(NO)6O174(OH)3(H2O)24].73H2O (1) containin
g a giant cluster anion (molecular mass: 9251.0 g mol-1) has been synt
hesized and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray investigation. Com
pound 1 crystallizes in the space group P6(3)/mmc with the unit cell d
imensions a = 23.730(7) angstrom, c = 27.312(10) angstrom, V = 13319(7
) angstrom 3 (R = 0.104 for 2433 independent reflections). The results
obtained here for a new cation lattice, give useful information for t
he knowledge of the giant cluster anion containing 276 non-hydrogen at
oms, because its electron distribution in the HOMO region seems to be
influenced by the cation lattice. Only little is known up to now about
electronic structures of giant transition metal clusters.
