Synthesis and structure of Cs/sub 4/Mo/sub 10/P/sub 18/O/sub 66/

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

The crystal structure of Cs/sub 4/Mo/sub 10/P/sub 18/O/sub 66/ was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data with the following unit cell parameters: space group P anti 1 with a = 14.395(1), b = 15.600(1), c = 6.4571(6) A, ..cap alpha.. = 98.316(6)/sup 0/, ..beta.. = 90.824(7)/sup 0/, ..gamma.. = 90.073(6)/sup 0/, V = 1434.6(4) A/sup 3/, R (R/sub w/) = 0.054 (0.066). Important features of the structure include nonintersecting, orthogonal Cs/sup +/-filled tunnels and two pairs of cornersharing MoO/sub 6/ octahedron, with Mo in the +4 oxidation state, bridged together by a P/sub 2/O/sub 7//sup 4 -/ group and a P/sub 3/O/sub 10//sup 5 -/ group coordinated to a Mo/sup 3 +/ center.
