A three-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid solid constructed from novel Mo–O–Zn bimetallic oxide networks linked via 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole

A novel three-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid solid [Zn3(3atrz)2(H2O)2(MoO4)2]n (1) (3atrz = 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) constructed from two-dimensional Mo–O–Zn bimetallic oxide networks was prepared under hydrothermal condition and characterized. Unprecedented {Zn6Mo6} 12 metal central-membered inorganic rings together with novel {Zn6(3atrz)6} metal–organic coordination rings exist in this structure.
