Diammonium bis[(2-aminoacetato-κ2N,O)(2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)(N,N-dimethylformamide-κO)copper(II)] hexacosaoxidooctamolybdate(VI)

Abstract

The title compound, (NH4)2[Cu(C2H4NO2)(C10H8N2)(C3H7NO)]2[Mo8O26], contains a centrosymmetric β-type octamolybdate anion, two copper(II) complex cations and two ammonium ions. The CuII atom is coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry by a 2,2′-bipyridine and a 2-aminoacetate ligands in the basal plane and by an O atom of N,N-dimethylformamide in the apical position. The anions and cations are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
