μ-Oxido-bis{[2,2-bis­(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetato-κ3 N 2,O,N 2′]chloridooxidomolybdenum(V)} mono­hydrate

In the binuclear title compound, [Mo2(C12H15N4O2)2Cl2O3]·H2O, the complex molecules have approximate C 2 symmetry. Both MoV atoms have a distorted octahedral coordination environment with cis-positioned terminal chloride and oxide groups. The heteroscorpionate organic ligand binds to the MoV 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.
