J. Szklarzewicz et A. Samotus, SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SERIES OF [MO3O4(CN)9-X(H2O)X](5-X)- (X=0-3) IONS, Polyhedron, 12(12), 1993, pp. 1471-1475
Thermal or photochemical decomposition of (bpyH)3(H3O)[Mo(CN)8] . H2O
in aqueous solutions gives amorphous salts with anions formulated as [
Mo3O4(CN)9-x (H2O)x](5-x)- (x = 0-3). The series of mixed-ligand compl
exes was characterized by chemical analyses, UV-vis. IR and ESR spectr
ometry, as well as cyclic voltammetry, thermogravimetry and electropho
resis measurements. Chemical reactions, typical of molybdenum(IV) trim
ers, support the formulation of salts as containing the (Mo3O4) core.
