Abstract

Aerial oxidation of the quadruply bonded Mo2(OAc)4 in the presence of HprNP (2-(2-pyrrolyl)-1,8-naphthyridine) in CH2Cl2 provide the dinuclear oxochloromolybdate [Mo2O2Cl22-O)2(HprNP)2] (1). The molecular structure of 1 consists of the [Mo2O2Cl22-O)2] core with the cisoid Mo=O bonds and each HprNP ligand chelating the Mo center through the naphthyridine unit. An alternate route to access oxomolybdates is to employ quadruply bonded [Re2Cl8]2- to oxidize cis-[Mo2(pyNP)2(OAc)2][BF4]2 (pyNP = 2-(2-pyridyl)1,8-naphthyridine). The isolated compound is the tetranuclear molybdenum cluster [Mo4Cl5O8(pyNP)2] (2). The molecular formula of compound 2 is best described as [Mo2Cl3O22-O)(η3-pyNP)][μ3-O][Mo2Cl2O22-O)22-pyNP)], the fusion of two oxochlorodimolybdates linked through a μ3-oxo linkage. The oxidation of the [MoII≣MoII] unit to highly oxidized oxomolybdates and subsequent dimerization to tetranuclear core offers prospect for accessing new types of oxo-chloro-molybdenum clusters exhibiting interesting structural motifs.
