Synthesis and characteristic of a new arylimido derivative of hexamolybdate with remote strong electro-donating group (Bu4N)2[Mo6O18NC6H4N(CH3)2−p]

A new monofunctionized arylimido derivative of hexamolybdate, (Bu4N)2[Mo6O18NC6H4N(CH3)2−p], is synthesized by α-octamolybdate and hydrochloride salt of N,N-dimethyl-1,4-dianiline with DCC as a dehydrating agent. The derivative’s crystal data has been obtained and the IR, UV–Vis, 1H NMR spectra and cyclic voltammetry properties have also been studied.
