[Mo_(12)O_(40)P][C_(44)H_(38)P2][CoC_(10)H_(10)] * 3(C3H7NO): A quasi-ternary intercluster compound

摘要

Binary intercluster compounds (IC) can be reduced to basic structure types of ionic solids. We examined the validity of this concept for ternary compounds, on the example of a quasi-ternary intercluster compound made from a Keggin anion ([PMo_(12)O_(40)]~(3-)), an organic cation (o-xylylenebis(triphenylphosphonium)), and a complex (cobaltocenium). The new compound and its two related quasi-binary IC were investigated by X-ray diffractometry, examined for intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen-bonding, π-, or van der Waals-interactions, and evaluated for possible reductions to basic structure types.
