%X The title compound, bis[2,2¡ä-dimethyl-3,3¡ä-(butane-1,4-diyl)diimidazol-1-ium] ¦Â-octamolybdate(VI), (C12H20N4)2[Mo8O26], was produced by hydrothermal reaction of an acidified aqueous solution of Na2MoO4 and 1,4-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)butane (hereafter L). The structure of the title compound consists of the ¦Â-octamolybdate anions having a center of symmetry, and protonated [H2L]2+ cations, which link the ¦Â-octamolybdate anions, generating a supramolecular chain via hydrogen bonds.
