Bis[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)bis(triphenylphosphane-κP)copper(I)] nonadecaoxidohexamolybdate(VI)

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C12H8N2)(C18H15P)2]2[Mo6O19], was obtained by co-crystallization of the mixed-ligand copper complex cation (1,10-phenanthroline)bis­(triphenyl­phos­phane)copper(I), [Cu(phen)(PPh3)2]+, with the Lindquist polyanion [Mo6O19]2−. The asymmetric unit consists of half a Lindquist anion and one [Cu(phen)(PPh3)2]+ cationic complex. In the cation, there are intra­molecular π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.617 (2) and 3.7272 (18) Å]. This inorganic–organic adduct is connected by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two dimensional network lying in the ab plane. These networks are connected by C—H⋯π inter­actions into a three-dimensional structure.
