The authors have synthesized single crystals of a ternary molybdate NaMg{sub 3}In(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} and carried out an X-ray structural study (a KM-4 automatic diffractometer, MoK{sub {alpha}} radiation, 4503 F, R = 0.047). The triclinic unit cell dimensions are a = 7.0467(7), b = 17.935(2), c = 6.9849(7) {angstrom}, {alpha} = 87.650(9), {beta} = 100.980(8), {gamma} = 92.510(9){degrees}, V = 865.5(2) {angstrom}{sup 3}, Z = 2, and space group P{bar 1}. The crystal structure involves MoO{sub 4} tetrahedra and (Mg,In)O{sub 6} octahedra forming a three-dimensional framework with Na atoms located in its cavities. The compound melts at 990{degrees}C with decomposition.
