A Two-Dimensional Network Constructed via Hydrogen-Bonded Cross-Linkages of Molybdenum Oxide Chains

Abstract

The hydrothermal reaction of MoO3 and 4,4‘ -bipyridylamine yields [Mo4O13(Hbpa)2], a two-dimensional material constructed from molybdenum oxide chains linked through hydrogen bonding of the protonated, pendant arms of the Hbpa+ ligand.
