A 3D Silverton-Type Polyoxomolybdate Based on {PrMo12O42}: Synthesis, Structure, Photoluminescence and Magnetic Properties

A three-dimensional (3D) Silverton-type polyoxomolybdate (POMo) with the formula of NH4{Mn-4[PrMo12O42]}center dot 18H(2)O (1) was successfully isolated and well characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction pattern, infrared spectrum, thermogravimetric and elemental analyses. The inorganic building block {PrMo12O42} has formed 3D frameworks via the {MnO6} linker. The excitation of compound 1 in solid state at 375 nm displays red emission. Moreover, variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that the magnetic behavior in compound 1 is dominated by antiferromagnetic interactions.
