Abstract:
A new compound, H
2 2 ·H
2O (bim= benzimidazole), was synthesized by benzimidazole, MoO
3 , et al. and characterized by IR spectrum and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes as a monoclinic system, having space group:
P2(1)/n, unit cell with
a=1.3882(14)nm,
b=1.3927(14) nm,
c =1.5940(16) nm,
α= 90°,β=107.334(12)°, γ=90°, V=2.942(5) nm
3,
Z=2, R1=0.0525. The compound has the
4- cluster as the structural motif and covalently linked with benzimidazole molecules by Mo—N bond. The protonated benzimidazole cations and H
+ cations play a role of charge-balance.
