A new layered hybrid of molybdenum oxide with covalently bonded electron-rich organic ligands, 3,8-phenanthroline, has been prepared. The structure of MoO3(3,8-phenanthroline)(0.5) consists of corner-shared {MoO5N} octahedra. Raman spectra correlate very well with the structural data and illustrate the subtle choice of the ligands used can affect the vibrational characteristics of the Mo-O bonds. Magnetization measurements indicate the susceptibility changes only slightly with temperature in the high-temperature region above 50 K, which supports a Pauli paramagnetic metallic behaviour. The increase in the electronic density-of-states due to the electron-rich organic spacers is further confirmed by specific heat capacity measurements where the electronic specific heat coefficient, gamma, is much higher compared with their bipyridyl counterparts.
