Synthesis, spectral, and thermal studies of oxomolybdenum(V) Schiff-base complexes derived from heterocyclic β-diketone

Unusual activation pathways of amines in the reactions with molybdenum pentachloride

Both single electron reduction and oxidation of Mo(v) guide the activation of a series of aliphatic amines when these are allowed to react with MoCl₅.

Bidentate coordinating behaviour of chalcone based ligands towards oxocations: VO(IV) and Mo(V)

We synthesized and studied the coordinating behaviour of chalcone based ligands derived from DHA and n-alkoxy benzaldehyde and their complexes of VO(IV) and MoO(V). The chalcone ligands are characterized by elemental analyses, UV-visible, IR, (1)H NMR, and mass spectra. The resulting oxocation complexes are also characterized by elemental analyses, IR, (1)H NMR, electronic, electron spin resonance spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurement and molar conductance studies. The IR and (1)H NMR spectral data suggest that the chalcone ligands behave as a monobasic bidentate with O:O donor sequence towards metal ion. The molar conductivity data show them to be non-electrolytes. From the electronic, magnetic and ESR spectral data suggest that all the chalcone ligand complexes of VO(IV) and MoO(V) have distorted octahedral geometry.

Microwave assisted synthesis and characterization of unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base complexes of VO(IV) and MoO(V)

Microwave synthesis, is green chemical method, simple, sensitive, reducing solvent amount and reaction time. The attempt was made to synthesize the unsymmetrical tetradentate N(2)O(2) ligands and their VO(IV) and MoO(V) unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base complexes by classical and microwave techniques using domestic microwave oven. The resulting unsymmetrical Schiff base ligands L(1)-L(3) characterized by different spectral methods. Their complexes with oxocations of VO(IV) and MoO(V) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductometric measurements, infrared and electronic absorption, (1)H NMR spectra, mass spectrometry, ESR spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurement and thermal study. The study suggests that the oxo metal ion is bonded to the ligand through the oxygen and imino nitrogen and the geometry around metal ion is distorted octahedral.
