Abstract

A new organic–inorganic hybrid polyoxoniobate [Cu(1,3-dap)2(H2O)][(H6Nb6O19)2Cu(1,3-dap)2] · 4(1,3-dap)·20H2O (1) (1,3-dap = 1,3-diaminopropane) has been synthesized by the diffusion method and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectrum, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal structure analysis reveals that 1 consists of a dimeric dumbbell anion [(H6Nb6O19)2Cu(1,3-dap)2]2−, a copper coordinated cation, four 1,3-dap ligands and 20 crystal water molecules. Neighboring units are combined via hydrogen bonds forming a 3-D supramolecular framework.
