While we have prepared and structurally characterized over forty solids in the octahedral-tetrahedral framework molybdenum phosphate (MoPO) system, including molecules, 1-D polymers and 3-D materials, this paper will focus on the two dimensional layered MoPO's. Both covalently and H bonded layers will be discussed. Compounds covered include Na3[Mo2O4(HPO4)(PO4)]·2H2O, (Et2NH2)2[Mo4O8(PO4)4/2], Cs2Mo4P6O26, (4-phenylpyridie)2[Mo4O8(PO4)4/2], (cation)[Mo2O2(PO4)2(H2PO4)], with several different types of organic and inorganic cations, and (4-phenylpiperidine)4[Na2.5Mo6O15(H1.4PO4)4]·4H2O. These materials might provide a platform for the preparation of new types of pillared and intercalated inorganic solids.
