(4,4′,6,6′-Tetra-tert-butyl-2,2′-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]nitrilobis(methylene)}diphenolato)dioxidomolybdenum(VI) chloroform monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Mo(C34H54N2O2)O2]·CHCl3, the molybdenum(VI) ion exhibits a cis-dioxide distorted octahedral geometry. Two anionic phenolate O-atom donors and two neutral N-atom donors of the ligand are trans and cis, respectively. The Mo=O bond lengths and the O=Mo=O bond angle are typical for six-coordinated dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes. The Mo—N bond lengths are longer than 2.30 Å, as expected for a trans O=Mo—N structure.
