Synthesis and characterization of three novel molybdenum(VI) complexes: Mononuclear [MoO2(C6H4(O)CHNCH(COO)CH2C(O)NH2)], [MoO2(C19H19N2O5)(CH3OH)]Cl·CH3OH and dinuclear [Mo2O4(C6H4(O)CHNCH(COO)CH2C(O)NH2)2]

Vapour- and solvent-mediated crystalline transformations in Mo(vi) hydrazone complexes controlled by noncovalent interactions

Through the use of hydrogen bond driven solid-state synthesis, mononuclear complexes are transformed into crystalline materials.

Templated C-C and C-N Bond Formation Facilitated by a Molybdenum(VI) Metal Center

Preparation of molybdenum dioxido complexes with novel iminophenolate ligands bearing pendant secondary amide functionalities led to unprecedented C-C and C-N coupling reactions of two α-iminoamides upon coordination. The diastereoselective cyclization to asymmetric imidazolidines occurs at the metal center in two consecutive steps via a monocoupled intermediate. A meaningful mechanism is proposed on the basis of full characterization of intermediate and final molybdenum-containing products by spectroscopic means and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. This process constitutes the first example of a diastereoselective self-cyclization of two α-iminoamides.

Dioxidomolybdenum(vi) complexes with isoniazid-related hydrazones: solution-based, mechanochemical and UV-light assisted deprotonation

Deprotonation of the mononuclear aroylhydrazonato complexes [MoO₂(HL^R)(MeOH)]Cl was performed by different methods.

cis-{MoO2}2+ assisted Mannich-type addition of acetylacetonate methine to the azomethine of tridentate Schiff bases: racemic complexes with chiral transformed ligands

A chiral multidentate ligand system produced by cis-{MoO₂}²⁺ assisted Mannich-type nucleophilic addition of an acetylacetonate central CH– across the polarized azomethine of a tridentate Schiff base system and the racemic cis-{MoO₂}²⁺ complexes formed from it are described.

Transition metal complexes with thiosemicarbazide-based ligands. Part 57: Synthesis, spectral and structural characterization of dioxovanadium(V) and dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with pyridoxal s-methylisothiosemicarbazone

This work is concerned with the synthesis of neutral dioxovanadium(V) and dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with tridentate ONN pyridoxal S-methylisothiosemicarbazone (PLITSC) of the respective formulas [VO2(PLITSC-H)]?2H2O and [MoO2(PLITSC-2H)]. Structural X-ray analysis of the vanadium complex showed that it has an almost ideal square-pyramidal structure, while the molybdenum complex is supposed to have a polymeric octahedral structure. In addition to elemental analysis, both complexes were characterized by conductometric and magnetometric measurements, as well as by IR, UV-vis, 1H- and 13CNMR spectra.
