The first microporous solids incorporating two octahedrally coordinated transition elements, the phosphates (TMA)[sub 2](NH[sub 4])[sub 2][Fe[sub 2]Mo[sub 12]O[sub 30](H[sub 2]PO[sub 4])[sub 6](HOP[sub 4])[sub 2]][center dot]11H[sub 2]O (1) and (TMA)[sub 2]Na[sub 4][Fe[sub 3]Mo[sub 12]O[sub 30](H[sub x]PO[sub 4])[sub 8]][center dot]16H[sub 2]O (2) (TMA = (CH[sub 3])[sub 4]N[sup +]), have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and water absorption isotherms. Phosphate 1 is prepared in 94% yield from Na[sub 2]MoO[sub 4], Mo, FeCl[sub 3], (NH[sub 4])[sub 2]HPO[sub 4], (TMA)OH, H[sub 3]PO[sub 4], and H[sub 2]O in a mole ratio of 5:1:1:2:7:16:150 at 200[degrees]C for 64 h, while 2 is synthesized in 62% yield by the reaction of Na[sub 2]MoO[sub 4], Mo, FeCl[sub 3], (TMA)OH, H[sub 3]PO[sub 4] and H[sub 2]O in a mole ratio of 5:1:1:8:18:250 at 200[degrees]C for 3 days. Orange crystals of 1 are rhombohedral. Both structures are based on Fe[Mo[sub 6]O[sub 15](H[sub x]PO[sub 4])[sub 2]] units which are connected via their phosphate groups to additional Fe[sup 3+] ions to give three-dimensional frameworks. Both compounds display structures that can be rationalized on the basis of regions of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. The interconnected voids and channels in the ferric molybdenum phosphate frameworks are filled with a mixture of charged-compensating cations and water of solvation. Reversible water absorption isotherms indicate that both compounds are microporous with internal void volumes of about 15 and 25 vol % for 1 and 2, respectively. 23 refs., 10 figs., 3 tabs.
