The crystal structure of potassium ammonium hexamolybdotellurate with telluric acid K5NH4[TeMo6O24].Te(OH)6.6H2O

An inorganic compound formulated as K5NH4[TeMo6O24].Te(OH)6.6H2O (1) has been isolated by conventional solution method and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR, UV–vis spectra, and cyclic voltammetry measurements. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with unit a = 18.6841(1) Å, b = 10.0513(1) Å, c = 21.1065(1) Å, β = 116.495(1)°, V = 3547.49(4) Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.033 and wR (F2) = 0.087 for 3432 unique observed reflexions [I > 2σ(I)]. The crystal structure of (1) is built up from an Anderson clusters connected through hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
