Abstract
The reaction of the polyoxomolybdate anion [Mo<sub>32</sub><sup>IV</sup>(MoNO)<sub>4</sub>O<sub>108</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>16</sub>]<sup>12-</sup>with Fe<sup>II</sup> salts and hydrazine sulfate yields the cluster anion [Mo<sub>51</sub><sup>V/VI</sup>(Mo<sup>VI</sup>O)<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>6</sub><sup>III</sup>(MoNO)<sub>6</sub>O<sub>176</sub>(OH)<sub>3</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>22</sub>]<sup>15-</sup> (1a), isolated as its corresponding ammonium salt (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>15</sub> <b>1a</b> 36H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>1</b>) (space group P63/mmc, a=b=23.607(5) Å, c=26.767(6) Å, 4076 unique reflections, 293 parameters). Despite the absence of oxygen and the reducing conditions the product comprises only Fe<sup>III</sup> centers as determined by a combination of spectroscopic, magnetic and crystallographic analysis. Reduction of peripheral Mo centers causes the aggregation of two additional [Mo<sup>VI</sup>O]<sup>4+</sup> groups onto the archetypal {Mo<sub>57</sub>M<sub>6</sub>} structure. The single-crystal X-ray determined structure of <b>1</b> is reported.
