Structural Features of Mononuclear Chelate Dioxomolybdenum(VI) Complexes with Tetradentate Chelate Ligands—Schiff Bases, Salicylaldehyde Derivatives [MOO2(Lm)] (m = 1−11)

Abstract

The structural features of 12 chelate complexes with the general formula [MoO2(Lm)], where Lm is a tetradentate chelate (N, N, O, O) ligand representing a Schiff base, a salicylaldehyde derivative (m = 1−11), have been considered. In all 12 complexes, the molybdenum atom has a cis,cis,cis-octahedral coordination. Both pairs of N(Lm), O(Lm) atoms occupy both trans- and cis-positions to oxo ligands.
