Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Two copper‐containing compounds based on MoO₄^2–, [Cu₄(phen)₄(μ₂‐OH)₂(μ₃‐OH)₂(H₂O)₂][MoO₄]₂<bold>·</bold>10H₂O (<bold>1</bold>) and [Cu(phen)₂Mo₂O₇(phen)]<bold>·</bold>8H₂O (<bold>2</bold>) (phen = 1, 10‐phenanthroline), were hydrothermally synthesized. In the crystal lattices of <bold>1</bold> and <bold>2</bold>, discrete octameric water cycles and 2D layer water clusters were observed. The cyclic water octamer clusters exist stably in the channels constructed by [Cu₄(phen)₄(OH)₄(H₂O)₂]²⁺ and MoO₄^2– by hydrogen bonds in <bold>1</bold> at low temperature and 2D layer water clusters are formed by (H₂O)₁₆ units in <bold>2</bold>.</p> </abstract>
