A new class of organic-inorganic hybrid materials:: Hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of bimetallic organophosphonate oxide phases of the Mo/Cu/O/RPO32- family

The hydrothermal reactions of Cu(SO4). SH2O, MoO2, 1,10-phenanthroline, and the appropriate organodiphosphonate ligand yield organic-inorganic hybrid materials with one- or two-dimensional structures; the presence of cluster building blocks is illustrated by the structure of [{CU(H2O)(2)(o-phen)}{Cu(o-phen)(2)}(Mo5O15)(O3PCH2CH2CH2PO3)].
