Crystal structure of C₁₆py-H₂Mo₈. (a) Asymmetric unit together with atoms generated by the symmetry operation (−𝑥,−𝑦,−𝑧) to complete half β-H₂Mo₈ anion (symmetry code: (i)  −𝑥,−𝑦,−𝑧). Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 30% probability level. (b) Packing diagram along b-axis (β-H₂Mo₈ in polyhedral representations).
