Syntheses and structural characterization of two novel oxygen bridged dinuclear Mo-complexes containing bdmpza as ligand, trans-[Mo2O5(bdmpza)2] and trans-[Mo2O3(NCS)2(bdmpza)2]·4CH3CN

Molybdenum complexes with a μ-O{MoO2}2 core: their synthesis, crystal structure and application as catalysts for the oxidation of bicyclic alcohols using N-based additives

Binuclear molybdenum(vi) complexes with a μ-O{MoO₂}₂ core as catalysts for the oxidation of bicyclic alcohols (fenchyl alcohol and isoborneol), using 30% H₂O₂ as the oxidant in the presence of NEt₃ as the additive, are reported.

μ-Oxido-bis{[2,2-bis-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetato-κN,O,N]chloridooxidomolybdenum(V)} mono-hydrate

In the binuclear title compound, [Mo₂(C₁₂H₁₅N₄O₂)₂Cl₂O₃]·H₂O, the complex mol­ecules have approximate C₂ symmetry. Both Mo^V atoms have a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment with cis-positioned terminal chloride and oxide groups. The heteroscorpionate organic ligand binds to the Mo^V atom via an N₂O donor set. The water mol­ecule bridges two complex mol­ecules, forming O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds to the acetate group and to the chloride ligands.
