The reactions of MoOCl4 with neutral Group 15 and 16 ligands and a re-investigation of some N-donor ligand complexes of MoOCl3
The reactions of MoOCl4 with neutral Group 15 and 16 ligands and a re-investigation of some N-donor ligand complexes of MoOCl3
The reaction of molybdenum(VI) oxide tetrachloride, MoOCl4, with neutral ligands including MeCN, Ph3PO, SMe2, MeS(CH2)3SMe, SeMe2, PMe3, 2,2’-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline, results in reduction to form oxomolybdenum(V) complexes, identified by microanalysis, IR and UV/visible spectroscopy and via X-ray crystal structure analyses of several examples. Unexpectedly, the product formed with SeMe2 was [SeMe3]2[Mo2O2Cl6(μ-Cl)2] and with SMe2, [SMe2Cl]2[Mo2O2Cl6(μ-Cl)2]. X-ray crystal structures are reported for mer-[MoOCl3(MeCN)2], [{MoOCl2(MeCN)}2(µ-Cl)2], [MoOCl3{MeS(CH2)3SMe}], [SeMe3][MoOCl4(H2O)], [SMe2Cl]2[Mo2O2Cl6(μ-Cl)2] and [PMe3H][MoOCl4(PMe3)]. The reaction of MoOCl4 with [Et4N]Cl forms the dinuclear Mo(V) species, [Et4N]2[Mo2O2Cl6(μ-Cl)2].
The red mer-[MoOCl3(diimine)] (diimine = 2,2’-bipyridyl, 1,10-phenathroline) complexes were prepared from [MoOCl3(thf)2] and the diimine and fully characterised by spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography. The long-known ‘green isomers’ of [MoOCl3(diimine)] obtained from MoOCl4 and the diimines (and in other ways), are suggested to be the red isomers co-crystallised with another lower oxidation state molybdenum complex.

Abstract
The reaction of molybdenum(VI) oxide tetrachloride, MoOCl4, with neutral ligands including MeCN, Ph3PO, SMe2, MeS(CH2)3SMe, SeMe2, PMe3, 2,2’-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline, results in reduction to form oxomolybdenum(V) complexes, identified by microanalysis, IR and UV/visible spectroscopy and via X-ray crystal structure analyses of several examples. Unexpectedly, the product formed with SeMe2 was [SeMe3]2[Mo2O2Cl6(μ-Cl)2] and with SMe2, [SMe2Cl]2[Mo2O2Cl6(μ-Cl)2]. X-ray crystal structures are reported for mer-[MoOCl3(MeCN)2], [{MoOCl2(MeCN)}2(µ-Cl)2], [MoOCl3{MeS(CH2)3SMe}], [SeMe3][MoOCl4(H2O)], [SMe2Cl]2[Mo2O2Cl6(μ-Cl)2] and [PMe3H][MoOCl4(PMe3)]. The reaction of MoOCl4 with [Et4N]Cl forms the dinuclear Mo(V) species, [Et4N]2[Mo2O2Cl6(μ-Cl)2].
The red mer-[MoOCl3(diimine)] (diimine = 2,2’-bipyridyl, 1,10-phenathroline) complexes were prepared from [MoOCl3(thf)2] and the diimine and fully characterised by spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography. The long-known ‘green isomers’ of [MoOCl3(diimine)] obtained from MoOCl4 and the diimines (and in other ways), are suggested to be the red isomers co-crystallised with another lower oxidation state molybdenum complex.
