The synthesis and crystal structure of a ‘Japanese rice-ball’-shaped Molybdenum Blue hybridized organically with 2-picolinic acid is presented. In addition to single-crystal X-ray analysis, the title compound was characterized with IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses to reinforce its framework structure, thermogravimetric analysis to quantify the water content, and Vis–NIR spectroscopy to determine the degree of reduction of the nanocluster.
