Organic–inorganic composite oxide phases: one-dimensional molybdenum oxide chains entrained within a three-dimensional coordination complex cationic framework in [{Cu2(triazolate)2(H2O)2}Mo4O13]

Abstract

The hydrothermal reaction of MoO₃, CuSO₄·5H₂O, 1,2,4-triazole and H₂O produces a 50% yield of [{Cu₂-(triazolate)₂(H₂O)₂}Mo₄O₁₃], a material constructed from {Mo₄O₁₃}_n^2n– chains entrained within the three dimensional framework provided by the {Cu₂(triazolate)₂(H₂O)₂}_n²ⁿ⁺ polymeric complex.
