The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C11H18N)4[Mo8O26], contains two cations and one half-anion; the anion is centrosymmetric. The anion is a β-isomer. Although no classical hydrogen bonds are found, a large number of weak inter­molecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces stabilize the packing of the ions.

Comment top

Polymolybdates have attracted considerable interest for application in selective catalysis of oxidation reactions with hydrogen peroxide. The synthesis and crystal structure reported here is part of this study (Guo and Li, 2007).

The title compound, (I), consists of a centrosymmetric β-octamolybdate anion and four n-hexylpyridinium cations. The structure of the anion is constructed from an array of eight edge-shared MoO6 octahedra. The Mo–O bond lengths can be grouped into four sets: Mo–O(t) 1.672 (6)–1.694 (5) Å, Mo–O(µ2) 1.725 (5)–2.311 (5) Å, Mo–O(µ3) 1.939 (5)–2.311 (5) Å, Mo–O(µ5) 2.128 (5)–2.374 (5) Å. The molecule of the compound is shown in Fig. 1.

In the structure of (I), no classic hydrogen bonds are found, but there exist a number of weak C–H···O interactions (see Table 1). These are further loosely aggregated into a three-dimensional framework via van der Waals forces. A packing diagram for the structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 2.

Experimental top

A solution of n-hexylpyridinium bromide (1.80 g, 7 mmol) in 10 ml of distilled water was added dropwise to a mixture of 20 ml aqueous solution of dihydrate sodium molybdate (1.2 g, 5 mmol) and 12% dilute hydrogen chloride (1.8 ml, 7 mmol) under stirring at 70°C. A white precipitate was immediately formed. After continuously stirring for 20 min, the resulting product was filtered, washed with water and dried at room temperature to produce the tetra-n-hexylpyridinium octamolybdate in 89% yield. Single crystals were separated from the above filtrate by slowly evaporating over a period of 1 d at 40°C.

Refinement top

The H atoms bonded to C atoms were included in the refinement with a riding model approximation, with C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso (H) = 1.2 Ueq (C atom). For the H atoms attached to C atoms of methyl groups, their Uiso(H) =1.5Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
