A new potassium molybdenum oxide, K₆Mo₁₀O₃₃, was synthesized by solid state reaction from the appropriate quantities of pre-dried MoO₃ and K₂MoO₄, fired at around 650 °C for 2 d. The structure has been solved by using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound adopts the space group P1, with the lattice constants a = 7.7100(5), b = 11.9659(8), c = 17.1321(12) A° , α = 86.42 (10), β = 77.18(10), γ = 74.14(10)°. The structure is built up of infinite chains of edge-sharing MoO₆ octahedra and groups of four MoO₆ octahedra forming Mo₄O₁₇ units. These sub-units are connected together by common vertices.
