Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of sandwich-like heteropolymolybdophosphates

Sandwich-like heteropoly molybdochromophosphates of supermolecular compound [NH3(CH2)(6)NH3](2)H-3{Cr[Mo6O15(HPO4)(H2PO4)(3)](2)}. 4H(2)O has been hyd rothermally synthesized and the single crystal structure has been determine d by X-ray diffraction. The crystal data are has follows: triclinic, space group P (1) over bar a=12.156(2), b=12.809(3), c=13.530(3) Angstrom, alpha= 102.46(3)degrees, beta=93.67(3)degrees, gamma=93.46(3)degrees, V=2046.9(7) Angstrom(3), Z=1, M-r=2768.69, D-c=2.246 g/cm(-3), F(000)=1337, mu=2.162 mm (-1). The structure has been refined to R=0.0666 and wR=0.1745 by full-matr ix least-squares method. The title compound is composed of 1, 6-diaminohexa ne, water molecules, and {Cr[Mo6O15(HPO4)(H2PO4)(3)](2)}(7-) anion which co nsists of six oxygen atoms from two [Mo6P4] units with a sandwich-like tran sition metal atom Cr located at the center of symmetry.
