Synthesis, structure and spectroscopic analyses of aquachloridooxidodiperoxidomolybdate(VI).

A novel aquachloridooxidodiperoxidomolybdate(vi), [MoClO(O2)2(OH2)](-), was crystallised as tetraethylammonium and triethylmethylammonium salts from strongly acidic aqueous solutions, and was structurally analysed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy. The aqueous behaviour of the present anion observed by (17)O NMR agrees with that reported in a previous speciation study.
