Tricaesium dimolybdate(VI) bromide

The title compound, Cs3(Mo2O7)Br, was synthesized by the reaction of CsNO3, MoO3 and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide. Its crystal structure is isotypic with K3(Mo2O7)Br and contains (MoO4)2− tetrahedra which share an O atom to produce a [Mo2O7]2− dimolybdate(VI) anion...

Description
Summary:The title compound, Cs3(Mo2O7)Br, was synthesized by the reaction of CsNO3, MoO3 and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide. Its crystal structure is isotypic with K3(Mo2O7)Br and contains (MoO4)2− tetrahedra which share an O atom to produce a [Mo2O7]2− dimolybdate(VI) anion with a linear bridging angle and overline{6}m2 symmetry. The anions are linked by Cs atoms (site symmetry overline{6}m2), forming sheets parallel to (001). Br atoms (site symmetry overline{6}m2) are also part of this layer. Another type of Cs atom (3m site symmetry) is located in the interlayer space and connects the layers via Cs—O and Cs—Br interactions into a three-dimensional array.
