Two new inorganic-organic hybrid materials based on inorganic cluster, [X2Mo18O62]6− (X=P, As)

Two new inorganic-organic hybrid materials based on heteropolyoxometalates, (C4H10N)6(P2 Mo18O62).4H2O I, and (C4H10N)6(As2Mo18O62).4H2O II, where C4H10N is protonated pyrrolidine have been synthesized and structurally characterized by physic-chemical methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction method, infrared, ultraviolet spectroscopy, Thermogravimetricanalysis andcyclic voltammetry measurements of the title hybrid materials indicate that there are hydrogen bond interaction between O atoms of the heteropolyoxometalates and water molecules as well as the N and O atoms of the organic compound. The molecular structures of synthesized hybrid materials contain discrete entities of pyrrolidinumion and water molecules surround every [X2Mo18O62]6− anion over the extended crystalline network that the [X2Mo18O62]6− anion retains its “Dawson structure”.
