Abstract

A new compound, H2[Hbim]2 [(bim)2Mo8O26]·H2O (bim=benzimidazole), was synthesized by benzimidazole, MoO3, et al. and characterized by IR spectrum and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes as a monoclinic system, having space group: P2(1)/n, unit cell with a=1.3882(14)nm, b=1.3927(14) nm, c=1.5940(16) nm, α=90°, β=107.334(12)°, γ=90°, V=2.942(5) nm3, Z=2, R1=0.0525. The compound has the [Mo8O26]4- cluster as the structural motif and covalently linked with benzimidazole molecules by Mo-N bond. The protonated benzimidazole cations and H+ cations play a role of charge-balance.
