Three novel amino acid salts of 12-molybdosilicate formulated (Gly)6H4SiMo12O40? 8H2O 1, K3(HGly)SiMo12O40?4H2O 2 and K2(HGly)2SiMo12O40?9H2O 3 (Gly = NH3CH2COO) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Com- pound 1 crystallizes in trigonal, space group R-3 with a = 17.0742(3), b = 17.0742(3), c = 16.792(4) ?, γ = 120o, F(000) = 3474, Mr = 2413.92, Z = 3, V = 4239.4(14) ?3, Dc = 2.837 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 2.728 mm–1, the final R = 0.0622, wR = 0.1549 (I > 2σ(I)) and GOF = 1.143. In compound 1, each [SiMo12O40]4– unit is surrounded by six Gly molecules through hydrogen bonding. Compounds 2 and 3 crystallize in monoclinic, space groups P2/c and P21/c, respectively. The pH value of the reaction media plays a crucial role in the formations of the three compounds.
