A New Three—dimensional Network Constructed by Heptamolybdate,SodiumIons and Hexamethylene Tetramine Cations via Hydrogen Bonds

1 INTRODUCTION The role played by CH…O hydrogen bonds in determining molecular conformation and crystal packing, in molecular recognition processes, in the stabilization of inclusion complexes, and possibly in the activity of biological macromolecules has been well established1,2]. According to Desirajus structural setting for C-H贩稯 hydrogen bonds, the D (to define the C贩稯 contact distances) values within the range of 3.00~4.00 and the angles of CH…O with 150≤≤180 are stru…

A New Three-dimensional Network Constructed by Heptamolybdate, Sodium Ions and Hexamethylene Tetramine Cations via Hydrogen Bonds

The crystal structure of the title compound Na2(OH2)5]2+C6H12N4H2]2-2+ Mo7O24]6 ?4H2O, prepared from an aqueous solution of Na2MoO4 ?2H2O in the presence of MoCl3 and hexamethylene tetramine, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal is of orthorhombic, space group Pnma with a = 14.6113(2), b = 18.6833(1), c = 15.3712(2), V = 4196.14(8)3, Z = 4, Mr = 1548.13, F(000) = 3016, = 2.157 mm-1 and Dc = 2.451 g/cm3. The final R factor is 0.0526 for 3818 unique observed reflections (I > 2(I)). The structural analysis reveals that heptamolybdate anions in the title compound consist of seven edge-sharing MoO6 octahedra, and are linked into a three-dimensional framework by sodium ions and hydrogen bonds.
