Some dichloro Schiff base complexes of molybdenum(IV)
Abstract
A series of molybdenum(IV) complexes of the type [MoCl2L2], where HL represents N-phenylsalicylideneimine and its derivatives, have been synthesised by reaction of [MoCl2(acac)2](acac = acetylacetonate) or [MoCl4(MeCN)2] with related Schiff bases. The spectroscopic properties of these six-co-ordinate d2 complexes are discussed.
