The organic-inorganic title salt, (CHN)[MoO] or ( PrNH)[MoO], was obtained by reacting MoO with diiso-propyl-amine in a 1:2 molar ratio in water. The molybdate anion is located on a twofold rotation axis and exhibits a slightly distorted tetra-hedral configuration. In the crystal structure, the diiso-propyl-ammmonium ( PrNH) cations and [MoO] anions are linked to each other through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating rings with (36) motifs that give rise to the formation of a three-dimensional network. The structure was refined taking into account inversion twinning (ratio of 4:1 between the two domains).
