Abstract
The title compound, strontium pentamolybdate, is isostructural with LaMo 5 O 8 and therefore contains bioctahedral Mo 10 O 18 cluster units strongly linked by Mo(1)-Mo(1) intercluster bonds of 2.7651 (9) A to form infinite molybdenum oxide chains. These are interconnected through Mo-O-Mo bonds to create four-sided channels, in which the Sr 2+ cations are located. The Mo-Mo distances within the Mo 10 cluster lie between 2.6034 (6) and 2.8324 (9) A (average 2.740 A). The Mo-O distances range between 1.902 (4) and 2.148 (4) A (average 2.062 A). The Sr 2+ cation is surrounded by ten O atoms at distances ranging from 2.529 (4) to 2.935 (4) A, with an eleventh O atom at 3.219 (4) A
