A novel 2D inorganic–organic hybrid compound constructed from {CuMo2O7}n bimetallic oxide chains bridged by N-containing ligand

A novel inorganic–organic hybrid compound [Cu(Mo2O7)(H2MDP)] (1) has been hydrothermally synthesized from the self-assembly of CuI, H2MoO4 and H2MDP ([Methylenebis(3,5-dimethylpyrazole)]). Compound 1 is constructed from one-dimensional {Cu(Mo2O7)}n bimetallic oxide chains bridged by H2MDP ligands into a novel two-dimensional hybrid compound. There exist left- and right-handed Cusingle bondOsingle bondMo helical chains in the bimetallic oxide chains.
