| Abstract: | The title compound, (C3H5N2)4[β‐Mo8O26], has been prepared from imidazole octamolybdate, (C3H5N2)4[(C3H4N2)2(γ‐Mo8O26)], which was described previously. The γ→β conversion is produced in the presence of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O and is reported for the first time in this work. The X‐ray structure analysis confirmed the presence of the [Mo8O26]4? anion. The structure consists of β‐Mo8O26 polyanions and imidazolium cations. These cations are linked to the terminal and bridging O atoms of the anion by hydrogen bonds. |
