The structure of La{sub 5}Mo{sub 4}O{sub 16} was determined using single crystal x-ray diffraction methods. Samples prepared by fused salt electrolysis, are monoclinic; space group C2/m of perovskite with ReO{sub 3}-like layers parallel to (001) containing two types of MoO octahedra. These layers are separated from each other by Mo{sub 2}O{sub 10} units formed by two edge sharing MoO{sub 6} octahedra. In these units an exceptionally short Mo-Mo distance of 2.406 {angstrom} is observed. Recently, the authors have succeeded in growing crystals of this quasi-low dimensional material which are suitable for electrical and magnetic characterization. The results of these studies will be presented.
