octacyanomolybdate(IV) anions‚ Mo(CN)84-‚ of approximate dodecahedral‚ D2d‚ and square antiprismatic‚ D4d‚ symmetry. The sensitivity of the Mo magnetic shielding (σ) and electric field gradient (EFG) tensors to small changes in the local structure of these anions allows the approximate D2d and D4d Mo(CN)84- anions to be readily distinguished. The use of high applied magnetic fields‚ 11.75‚ 17.63 and 21.1 T‚ amplifies the overall sensitivity of the NMR experiment and enables more accurate characterization
