catalysts and ion-exchangers [1–7]. Of those clusters composed of oxome-talate polyhedra and phosphate tetrahedral units, one of the most interest-ing is the Mo(V) phosphate family with a variety of structural featuresincluding discrete molecular entities, one, two or three-dimensional (3-D)frameworks [1]. During the recent years, with extensive exploration ofthe hydrothermal techniques, a large number of molybdenum phosphateshave been reported, for example, Cs2Mo4P6O26 [8], Cs4Mo8P12O52 [8],AgMo5P8O33 [9],Cs4Mo10P18O66 [10],Mo3P5SiO19 [11], Cs3Mo5P6O25 [12],Cs3Mo4P3O16[13],(PPh4)2[(H3O)2NaMo6O15(HPO4)(H2PO4)3] · 5H2O[14],and Na2[(CH3)4N]4[Cd3Mo12O24(OH)6(PO4)2(HPO4)6] · 10H2O [15]. Inconsidering that Mo(V) phosphates are formed so readily in the solid stateas shown for [Mo6P4X31]n− (X=O, OH) phosphates easily stabilized byvarious transition or post-transition elements such as zinc, iron andcadmium [15–19], we made efforts to investigate the assembly of Mo(V)phosphates in the presence of the secondary metals such as Fe, V or Zn [20].In this paper, two new members of the family, (enH2)(enH)[NaMo12O24(OH)6(HPO4)2(H2PO4)6] · (en)4 · 20H2O (1) (en=H2NCH2CH2NH2) and[HAD-H2]2[HAD-H]2[Zn3Mo12O24(OH)6(PO4)2(HPO4)6] · 6H2O(2)(HAD=NH2(CH2)6NH2), are reported. Their synthesis and structural character-ization are described here.

EXPERIMENTAL

Reagents and Physical Measurements

Reagents were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. and usedwithout further purification. All of syntheses were carried out in polyte-trafluoroethylene-lined stainless containers under autogenous pressure. Theelemental analyses of C and H were performed on an EA1110 CHNS-0 CEelemental analyzer, and the contents of Na and Mo were determined byatomic absorption method. All IR (KBr pellet, 4000–400 cm−1) and Raman(l=1064 nm, KBr diluted) spectra were recorded using a Nicolet Magna750FT-IR spectrometer.

X-Ray Crystallographic Analysis

Suitable crystals of 1 and 2 were mounted on a glass fiber with epoxyresin, and used for data collection on a Siemens SMART CCD diffractom-eter with graphite monochromated Mo-Ka radiation (l=0.71073 Å) atroom temperature. An empirical absorption correction by SADABS wasapplied to the intensity data. A total of 16762 (1.71 [ h [ 25.22°) and10904 (1.56 [ h [ 25.06°) reflections were collected for 1 and 2, respec-tively, of which independent reflections 7670 [R(int)=0.0495] for 1 and7285 [R(int)=0.0484] for 2 were used in the structure analysis. Crystallo-graphic data and structure determination parameters are given in Table I.

Structures of 1 and 2 were solved by direct methods, successiveFourier difference synthesis, and refined by the full matrix least-squaresminimization of (Sw(Fo −Fc)2 with anisotropic thermal parameters for allnon-hydrogen atoms giving rise to final convergence 0.0716, wR2=0.1982(I > 2s(I)) with 593 parameters for 1 and 0.0624, wR2=0.1409 (I > 2s(I))with 558 parameters for 2. Final atomic coordinates and displacementparameters for non-hydrogen atoms, full lists of bond lengths and bondangles, and bond valence sum (BVS) calculations have been given insupplementary materials.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The X-ray analysis revealed that both compounds have similar sandwich-shaped cluster anions, namely, {Na[MoV

6O12(OH)3(HPO4)(H2PO4)3]}3−

({Na(MoV6)2}) for1and[Zn{Mo6O12(OH)3(PO4)(HPO4)3}2]10−({Zn(MoV

6)2})for 2. The geometry of both sandwich-shaped anions (Figs. 1 and 3) is verysimilar to the unit already encountered in several sodium, iron, cadmium orzinc hydroxyphosphates [15–18]. Both cluster anions contain two co-planar {Mo6} rings of six Mo(O5OH) edge-sharing octahedra; the two{Mo6} rings are bonded together through one octahedral Na or Zn ion togenerate a sandwich-shaped cluster with rigorous ( − 1) symmetry. Sixmolybdenum atoms of each ring are co-planar with alternating shortMo–Mo bonds (approximately 2.59 Å) and non-bonding Mo · · · Mo con-tacts (approximately 3.55 Å). The Mo–Mo distances observed show thatthese {Mo6} rings can be considered as three {Mo2O4} units beingmutually connected by a peripheral phosphate ligand and by a hydroxogroup, with alternating short Mo–Mo bonds within the {Mo2O4} dimers,and non-bonding Mo · · · Mo contacts between the {Mo2O4} subunits, acommon feature among cyclic arrangements based on dinuclear [Mo2O2E2](E=O, S) units [15–20, 23]. Each ring encapsulates a central phosphate

6)2} islocated at two sites (P(3A) and P(3B)) with partial occupancy of 0.5.

The analysis of selected bond lengths for 1 and 2 shows that all Mo–Ooctahedra present the characteristic geometry of MoV, with a short Mo–Obond (1.659–1.700 Å in 1 and 1.676–1.694 Å in 2) opposed to an abnor-mally long Mo–O bond lengths (2.236–2.347 Å in 1 and 2.274–2.313 Åin 2) and four intermediate equatorial Mo–O bonds within the range of1.932–2.150 Å in 1 and 1.919–2.123 Å in 2. The pentavalence character forall molybdenum atoms in both compounds was confirmed by bond valencesum calculations based on the Brown equation [24], since values rangingfrom 5.13 to 5.29 were obtained, and according to this procedure, the O(4),O(9), O(18) O(25), O(26), O(27), O(28), O(29), O(30), O(31) and O(32) sitesin 1 and O(4), O(7), O(16), O(25), O(27), O(29) sites in 2 are ascribed toOH− sites, as whose bond valence sum values (1.066–1.357) are significantsmaller than that of the others (1.671–1.955) that are normal for theO2− sites. The bond valence sum values for P atoms in 1 and 2 are in therange of 4.71–5.01, indicating normal pentavalence for P. These analysesshow that each central phosphate group (PO3OH) in {Na(MoV

6)2} has oneterminal OH, and each of the remaining peripheral phosphate groups(PO2(OH)2) has two terminal OH groups, whereas only three protonationsites (and symmetric positions) are found in the {Zn(MoV

6)2} cluster anion.In Fig. 2, a stereo-network structure of 1 is given, which shows how

the sandwiched-shaped anions are held together within the framework viahydrogen-bonding contacts as follows: the terminal groups of the organicamine interact with the anions via hydrogen bonds, with distances in therange of 2.64–3.01 Å for N · · · O; the crystallized water molecules arehydrogen bonded to anions with O · · · O distances in the range of2.62–2.97 Å.

The two-dimensional structure of 2 is built up from the sandwich-shaped cluster [Zn{Mo6O12(OH)3(PO4)(HPO4)3}2]10− ({Zn(MoV

6)2}) asfollows: each {Zn(MoV

6)2} cluster is linked to six additional building blocksthrough contacting six different tetrahedral Zn. These tetrahedral Zn,which are crystallographically identical, are coordinated to the terminalphosphate O atoms of the Mo6 rings in the following way: each Zntetrahedron shares the single terminal O atom of the central phosphate(P(4)), and one apex from a peripheral PO3OH tetrahedron (P(3)), whichare from the same Mo6 ring of one {Zn(MoV

6)2} cluster; the remaining Oatoms in its coordination sphere are bonded to two different atoms fromtwo different Mo6 rings of two neighboring {Zn(MoV

6)2} units. Therefore,each tetrahedral Zn atom contacts four phosphate groups from three

different {Zn(MoV6)2 units; each {Zn(MoV

6)2 cluster is in turn coordinatedto six tetrahedral Zn, forming a two-dimensional [Zn3Mo12O24(OH)6(PO4)2(HPO4)6]n 6n− layer.

A stereo-network structure of the zinc molybdenum (MoV) phosphate2 is given in Fig. 4, which shows how the 1,6-hexanediamines cations([H3N(CH2)6NH3]2+ and [H3N(CH2)6NH2]+) are pervaded in the spacebetween lamellas. These amine groups interact with the anions of thelayered frameworks via hydrogen bonds, with distances in the range of2.69–3.03 Å, so that the Zn-Mo-O-P layers are connected into a three-dimensional structure. In another word, these Zn-Mo-O-P layers are heldtogether by a O · · · O hydrogen-bonded network, involving (i) the terminalP(3)-O(29)H group, oriented perpendicular to the plane of the layer and

As shown in Fig. 5, the IR spectrum of 1 and 2 show similar charac-teristics features, namely, absorptions at 941 and 914 cm−1 are attributed ton(Mo=O); a series of bands in the 1530–1340 cm−1 region are assigned tothe C–C and C–N stretching vibrations of the organic amines; and bandsin the 995–1200 cm−1 range are associated to n(P-O) of the phosphate.However, the strength of the band at 914 cm−1 of 1 is much weaker thanthat of 2.
