The crystal structure of the title compound, C8H24N2Mo6O19 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The crystals are trigonals, space group P-3c1, with a= b= 10.0176(11)Å, c= 14.089(2)Å, γ=120˚, V = 1224.4(3)Å3, Z=2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares methods to a Final R = 0.0316 for 1114 observed reflections with I>2 σ(I). In hexamolybdate anion, six MoO6 distorted octahedra are fused together so that they all share a common vertex. O atoms are of three types: central, terminal and bridging, bonded to six, one and two Mo atoms, respectively. The crystallographic data of the structure was deposited with the Cambridge Data Center as No. CCDC 199679.
