Crystal structure of octa-kis-(N,N-di-methyl-formamide-κO)europium(III) tetra-cosa-μ2-oxido-dodeca-oxido-μ12-phosphato-dodeca-molybdate(VI).

ABSTRACT: In the title salt, [Eu(C3H7NO)8][PMo12O40], the asymmetric unit comprises one α-Keggin-type [PMo12O40](3-) polyoxidometalate anion and one distorted dodeca-hedral [Eu(C3H7NO)8](3+) complex cation. In the crystal, the isolated polyoxidometalate anions are packed into hexa-gonally arranged rows extending parallel to [001]. The complex cations are situated between the rows and are linked to the neighbouring anions through weak C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure.
