on layered 2/∞[MonO3n+1]2– blocks
and organoammonium cations +(MexH3–xN)(CH2)6(NH3–xMex)+ (x = 0–1), namely, (H3N(CH2)6NH3)[Mo7O22]·H2O (1) and (MeH2N(CH2)6NH2Me)[Mo9O28] (2), have been synthesized
under hydrothermal conditions. The 2/∞[Mo9O28]2– unit in 2 is an unprecedented member of the 2/∞[MonO3n+1]2– family with the n value extended
to 9. The structural filiation between the 2/∞[MonO3n+1]2– (n = 5, 7, 9) blocks is well
established, and their structural similarity with the 2/∞[MoO3] slabs in α-MoO3 is also discussed. Single-crystal X-ray analyses show that the 2/∞[MonO3n+1]2– layers in 1 and 2 are pillared in the three-dimensional
networks by the organic cations with a similar connection at the organic–inorganic
interface. In addition, a correlation between the topology of the 2/∞[MonO3n+1]2– blocks in 1 and 2 and the overall sizes of the associated
organic cations is pointed out. Finally, the efficiency of Fourier
transform Raman spectroscopy to easily discriminate the different 2/∞[MonO3n+1]2– blocks (n = 5, 7, 9) in hybrid organic–inorganic layered
molybdate materials
is clearly evidenced.
