Abstract

The hydrothermal reaction of MoO3, [Cu(CH3CO 2)2]·H2O, 2,2:6 ,2″-terpyridine (terpy), H2O 3AsC6H5, H2O and H 2SO4 yields aqua colored crystals of [{Cu(terpy)} 2Mo12O34(O3AsC6H 5)4]·2.25H2O (1·2.25H 2O). The two-dimensional structure of 1 is constructed from {Mo 12O34(O3AsC6H5) 4}4- clusters linked through {Cu(terpy)}2+ subunits. Each Cu(II) site exhibits {CuN3O2} coordination geometry and links two adjacent clusters. In turn, each cluster is associated with four Cu(II) sites through {Mo=O·Cu} interactions.
