Abstract
The crystal structure of cis-[MoO2(acac)2] has been redetermined at 100 K, providing a more precise description of the structure including hydrogen atoms and intermolecular contacts.
The title compound, [Mo(C5H7O2)2O2] or cis-[MoO2(acac)2] (acac is acetylacetonate), contains a molybdenum(VI) atom coordinated by two acetylacetonate ligands and two doubly bonded oxido ligands in a distorted octahedral shape. The molecule is chiral and the asymmetric unit contains two independent molecules (one Δ, one Λ). Extensive C—H⋯O contacts are present throughout the structure. Data were collected at 100 K, providing higher precision of unit-cell parameters and atomic positions than previous determinations [Kamenar et al. (1973 ▸). Cryst. Struct. Commun.2, 41–44.; Krasochka et al. (1975). Zh. Strukt. Khim.16, 696–698].![]()
