The synthesis and characterization of an
organic-inorganic hybrid compound (MoO3.PABA) is
presented. This nanostructured hybrid
characterized by elemental analysis, infrared
spectroscopy, thermogravimetric study, X-ray
powder diffraction analysis and scanning electron
microscopy. It verified that this compound
consists of twodimensional chains of molybdenum
oxides in wich organic ligands directly
coordinated to the oxide layers. This nanohybrid
is a new form of molybdenum oxide hybrid with a
good potentials of being employed as an efficient
catalyst in oxygen atom transfer reactions.
