Redox properties of mononuclear and triply-bridged binuclear thiolato anions of oxomolybdenum(V)
Abstract
Interconversion of mononuclear [MoVO(SR)4]–(1; R = aryl or alkyl) and triply-bridged, binuclear [MoV2O2(SR)6Z]–(2; Z = OMe, OEt, or SCH2Ph) anions occurs via redox processes involving both the molybdenum and ligand thiolate centres.
