  The synthesis, crystal structure, redox characteristics and photochemistry of a new heptamolyb-date supported magnesium-aqua coordination complex viz. (hmtH)₂ [{Mg(H₂O)₅}₂ {Mo₇O₂₄}]·3H₂O 1 (hmt = hexamethylenetetramine) is reported. The cyclic voltammogram reveals quasireversible redox behaviour while the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) by 1 under sunlight irradiation indicates its photocatalytic activity. In the crystal structure of 1, two [Mg(H₂O)₅]²⁺ units are linked by a 𝜇₂-bridging bidentate hepta-molybdate ligand resulting in a heptamolybdate supported magnesium-aqua coordinated dianionic complex [{Mg(H₂O)₅}₂ {Mo₇O₂₄}]²⁻ charge balanced by two (hmtH)⁺ cations. The cations, anions and the lattice water molecules are linked by several hydrogen bonding interactions.
