Triple molybdates AgA{sub 3}R(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} (A=Mg, R=Cr, Fe; A=Mn, R=Al, Cr, Fe, Sc, In) of the NaMg{sub 3}In(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} type were synthesized and single crystals of AgMg{sub 3}R(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} (R=Cr, Fe) were grown. In their structures, the MoO{sub 4} tetrahedra, pairs and trimers of edge-shared (Mg, R)O{sub 6} octahedra are connected by common vertices to form a 3D framework. Large framework cavities involve Ag{sup +} cations disordered on three nearby positions with CN=3+1 or 4+1. Alternating (Mg, R)O{sub 6} octahedra and MoO{sub 4} tetrahedra in the framework form quadrangular windows penetrable for Ag{sup +} at elevated temperatures. Above 653–673 K, the newly obtained molybdates demonstrate abrupt reduction of the activation energy to 0.4–0.6 eV. At 773 K, AgMg{sub 3}Al(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} shows electric conductivity 2.5·10{sup −2} S/cm and E{sub a}=0.39 eV compatible with characteristics of the best ionic conductors of the NASICON type. - Graphical abstract: Triple molybdates AgA{sub 3}R(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} (A=Mg, R=Cr, Fe; A=Mn, R=Al, Cr, Fe, Sc, In) of the NaMg{sub 3}In(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} type were synthesized, AgMg{sub 3}R(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} (R=Cr, Fe) were structurally characterized, ion-conductive properties of AgMg{sub 3}Al(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} were measured. Display Omitted - Highlights: • Triple molybdates AgA{sub 3}R(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} (A=Mg, R=Cr, Fe; A=Mn, R=Al, Cr, Fe, Sc, In) of the NaMg{sub 3}In(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} type were synthesized. • Single crystals of AgMg{sub 3}R(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} (R=Cr, Fe) were grown and their crystal structures were determined. • Disordering Ag{sup +} ions and penetrable framework structures of AgMg{sub 3}R(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} (R=Cr, Fe) suggest 2D-character of silver-ion mobility. • Measured ion-conductive properties of AgMg{sub 3}Al(MoO{sub 4}){sub 5} are compatible with characteristics of the best ionic conductors of the NASICON type.
