title: Tripyridinium cis-tetra-chlorido-dioxido-molybdate(VI) chloride.
abstract: In the title compound, (C(5)H(6)N)(3)[MoCl(4)O(2)]Cl, the pyridinium cations are N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonded to the anionic [MoCl(4)O(2)](2-) complexes and to the two crystallographically independent chloride anions (located on C2 axes). The Mo(6+) centre adopts a highly distorted octa-hedral geometry, being surrounded by four chloride and two terminal oxide groups. The oxide ligands are mutually cis.
