description: Mo2C6P2H18O5Cl4(P(CH3)3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight trimethylphosphine molecules and four Mo2C6P2H18O5Cl4 clusters. In each Mo2C6P2H18O5Cl4 cluster, there are two inequivalent Mo3+ sites. In the first Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to three O2- and two Cl1- atoms to form distorted MoCl2O3 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one MoCl2O3 square pyramid and a cornercorner with one PC3O tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–2.23 Å. There are one shorter (2.45 Å) and one longer (2.49 Å) Mo–Cl bond lengths. In the second Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to three O2- and two Cl1- atoms to form distorted MoCl2O3 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one MoCl2O3 square pyramid and a cornercorner with one PC3O tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–2.27 Å. There are one shorter (2.44 Å) and one longer (2.51 Å) Mo–Cl bond lengths. There are six inequivalent C4- sites. In the first C4- site, C4- is bonded to one P5+ and three H1+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CPH3 tetrahedra. The C–P bond length is 1.79 Å. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å.

In the third C4- site, C4- is bonded to one P5+ and three H1+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CPH3 tetrahedra. The C–P bond length is 1.80 Å. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the fourth C4- site, C4- is bonded to one P5+ and three H1+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CPH3 tetrahedra. The C–P bond length is 1.80 Å. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the fifth C4- site, C4- is bonded to one P5+ and three H1+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CPH3 tetrahedra. The C–P bond length is 1.80 Å. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the sixth C4- site, C4- is bonded to one P5+ and three H1+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CPH3 tetrahedra. The C–P bond length is 1.80 Å. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to three C4- and one O2- atom to form PC3O tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MoCl2O3 square pyramid. The P–O bond length is 1.53 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to three C4- and one O2- atom to form PC3O tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MoCl2O3 square pyramid. The P–O bond length is 1.52 Å. There are eighteen inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom.
