Abstract

The chemistry of the Mo-O-REO32- systems (E = P, As) is remarkably diverse, exhibiting influences of the Mo oxidation state, solvent, organic substituents and reaction conditions of temperature, pressure and stoichiometry. Clusters exhibiting molybdenum nuclearities of two, four, five and six are common, as are species derived through both ligation to the Mo site and ligand-based transformations. Thus, the reactions of the Mo(VI) starting material [MoO2(acac)2] with the appropriate (REO3H2) or R′(PO3H2)2 provided a series of Mo(VI) clusters, with cyclic structures based on edge- and corner-sharing of Mo-octahedra and ligand tetrahedra. In contrast, when MoCl5 is used in the syntheses, a variety of reduced and mixed valence clusters are observed and metal-mediated ligand transformations are also common.
