title: Poly[diaquahexakis(dimethyl sulfoxide-kappaO)cerium [(mu(2)-hexacosaoxooctamolybdate)sodium]].
abstract: The title compound, {[Ce(C2H6OS)6(H2O)2][NaMo8O26]}n, contains an infinite chain of beta-octamolybdate moieties linked by Na+ ions, and further linked into a two-dimensional network by [Ce(DMSO)6(H2O)2]3+ (DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide) groups via hydrogen-bond interactions. The Ce and Na atoms are located on a twofold axis and an inversion centre, respectively.
