Cucurbit[6]uril crystallizes with bis­(μ-oxo-κ2O:O)bis[aquaoxodichloro­molybdenum(VI)] as the 10.5-hydrate, with the formula [Mo2O4Cl4(H2O)2]·(C36H36N24O12)·10.5H2O. The molybdenum-bearing component inter­acts indirectly with two cryptands through the two coordinated water mol­ecules, each outer-sphere-coordination cryptand forming only one hydrogen bond with each water mol­ecule. The asymmetric unit has two cryptands, both of which lie on special positions of \overline{1} site symmetry. One of them encapsulates a water mol­ecule that is disordered over two general positions, whereas the other encapsulates one that lies on a centre of inversion. The solvent water mol­ecules inter­act with the dinuclear complex and with both cucurbituril molecules to form a three-dimensional network structure.
