Abstract
The hydrothermal reaction of MoO3, Cu(C2H3O2)2·H2 O, tpypyz, H3PO4 and H2O yields a 2D material, [{Cu2(tpypyz)(H2O)2}(Mo5 O15)(HOPO3)2]·2H2O (1·2H2O), constructed from {Mo5O15(HOPO3)2} 4− clusters linked through {Cu2(tpypyz)(H2O)2}2+ components; in contrast, use of Cu2O in the synthesis in place of Cu(C2H3O2)2·H2 O yields a 3D material [{Cu2(tpypyz)(H2O)2}(Mo5 O15)(HOPO3)2]·3H2O (2·3H2O), constructed from the same building blocks as 1·2H2O.
