A novel transition metal ion bridging bis(diphosphopentamolybdates) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis,IR spectrum,UV spectrum and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The single-crystal structure analysis shows that the compound consists of seven charge-compensating 2,2’-biimidazole cations (BIIM=2,2’-biimidazole) and one dumbbell-like [Mn(H2O)4(P2Mo5O23)2]10-heteropolyanion which is constructed by two [P2Mo5O23]6-clusters bridged through one [Mn(H2O)4]2+ cation.
