Composite Solids Constructed From One‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer Matrices and Molybdenum Oxide Subunits: Polyoxomolybdate Clusters within [{Cu(4,4′‐bpy)}₄Mo₈O₂₆] and [{Ni(H₂O)₂(4,4′‐bpy)₂}₂Mo₈O₂₆] and One‐Dimensional Oxide Chains in [{Cu(4,4′‐bpy)}₄Mo₁₅O₄₇]·8H₂O

Abstract

Soft chemical methods were used for preparing the new class of composite materials presented here. One example is [{Cu(4,4′-bpy)}4Mo8O26] (4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine), whose unique structure (shown on the right) consists of [Mo8O26]4− clusters embedded in a web of {Cu(4,4′-bpy)} one-dimensional chains.
