Abstract

The oxodiperoxo complex MoO(O2)(2)(tbbpy) (tbbpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'- bipyridine) was isolated from the reaction of MoO2Cl(2)(tbbpy) in water under microwaveassisted heating at 120 masculineC for 4 h. The structure of the oxodiperoxo complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Mo(VI) centre is seven-coordinated with a geometry which strongly resembles a highly distorted bipyramid. Individual MoO(O2)(2)(tbbpy) complexes are interdigitated along the [010] direction to form a column. The crystal structure is formed by the close packing of the columnar-stacked complexes. Interactions between neighbouring columns are essentially of van der Waals type mediated by the need to effectively fill the available space.

Figure 1
Schematic representation of the neutral MoO(O2)2(tbbpy) molecular unit present in the crystal structure of 1, showing the labelling scheme for all non-hydrogen atoms. Thermal ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level and hydrogen atoms are represented as small spheres with arbitrary radii. The disorder associated with the coordinated peroxo (O2'-O3') and oxo (= O1') groups [21.9(7)% occupancy] has been omitted for clarity. Table 1 collects selected bond lengths and angles for the distorted bipyramidal {MoN2O5} coordination environment. Symmetry transformation used to generate equivalent atoms: (i) x, 1.5-y, z.
