Preparation and crystal structure of potassium salt of the binuclear molybdenum(III) complex, µ-acetato-di-µ-hydroxo-µ(NN′) ethylenediaminetetraacetato- bis[molybdenum(III)], K[Mo2(OH)2(O2CMe)(C10H12O8N2)]
Abstract
A clarification of the preparative procedure and the first crystal structure of a binuclear molybdenum(III) complex, K[Mo2(OH)2(O2CMe)(C10H12O8N2)], are reported; the metal atoms are bridged by two oxygens (as OH–), acetate, and edta, and metal-metal bonding (2·43 Å) is apparent.
