Solid state coordination chemistry: two-dimensional oxides constructed from polyoxomolybdate clusters and copper–organoamine subunits

Abstract

Copper–organodiamine substructures are effective bridging groups for polyoxomolybdate anions in the construction of two-dimensional mixed metal networks, of which [{Cu(bpe)}₄(α-Mo₈O₂₆)]·2H₂O and [{Cu(pyrd)}₄(γ-H₄Mo₈O₂₆)] are representative [bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene; pyrd = pyridazine].
