Abstract
A new organopolymolybdate polymer, [Zn2(H2biim)4(Hbiim)2][H2(γ-Mo8O26)]·8H2O (1) (H2biim = 2,2′–biimidazole), was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. In 1, H2biim has chelate and linking roles. Three H2biim chelate one Zn to form a cationic metal-organic subunit; two subunits link one octamolybdate through Mo–N bonds, forming a two-supporting anion. There are abundant π…π stacking interactions between these anions inducing a 1-D supramolecular chain. The electrochemical behavior and photoluminescence of 1 have been studied.
