Hydrothermal assembly and structural characterisation of one- and two-dimensional organic/inorganic hybrid materials constructed from diphosphopentamolybdate(VI) clusters and {Cu(en)}2+ complex groups

Abstract

Three novel low-dimensional organic/inorganic hybrid materials, assembled hydrothermally, are constructed from diphosphopentamolybdate(VI) clusters linked through {Cu(en)}²⁺ groups; the initial Mo/Cu and Mo/en ratios and the use of F^– ions control the connectivity between the phosphomolybdate clusters and {Cu(en)}²⁺ groups, and hence the dimensionality of the solid architectures.
