A novel peroxodiphosphatotetramolybdate, [(P2O7)(MoO(O2)2)2(Mo(OH2)O(O2)2)]4- was isolated as a potassium-tetramethylammonium salt and the structure was analyzed by X-ray (see figure). The diphosphate group acts as a μ4 ligand, monodentate to two Mo atoms and bidentate to the other two. All molybdenum atoms have one terminal oxo and two peroxo groups. Two of the four share two oxygen atoms with the diphosphate. The other two share one oxygen atom with the diphosphate, and have one coordinated water. The anion is supported by potassium cations and intramolecular hydrogen bonding between coordinated water molecules and peroxo oxygen atoms. The anions are connected by potassium cations to form a 1-D double chain in the crystal. The detailed structure and results of 31P NMR study will be discussed.
