Abstract

Reaction of (n-Bu4N)2[Mo2O7] with tropolone (C7H6O2) in acetonitrile yields (n-Bu4N)2[Mo2O6(trop)2]. The title complex is a unique example of a binuclear oxomolybdenum(VI) species exhibiting the [MoO2(μ-O)2MoO2]° core. Crystal data: monoclinic space group P21/c, a = 10.092(2), b = 14.867(3), c = 17.002(4) Å, β= 93.05(1)°, V = 2547.4(11) Å3, Z = 2, Dcalc. = 1.37 g cm-3; 3764 reflections to give R = 0.035.
