Ammonium tris(tetraethylammonium) hexacosaoxidooctamolybdate
Abstract
The structure of the title compound, NH4(C8H20N)3[Mo8O26], is built up by discrete cations and anions, with two formula units in the asymmetric unit. The β-octamolybdate anions are linked to the ammonium cations via N—H...O hydrogen bonding involving terminal oxide groups and to the tetraethylammonium cations via weak C—H...O interactions.
