摘要

A series of acetato complexes of molybdenum(V), based on the singly metal–metal bonded {Mo₂O₄}²⁺ structural fragment, has been prepared. A dinuclear (PyH)₃[Mo₂O₄Cl₄(OOCCH₃)] · CH₃CN (1) (PyH⁺ = pyridinium cation, C₅H₅NH⁺) was obtained upon the reaction of (PyH)₅[MoOCl₄(H₂O)]₃Cl₂ with the equimolar solution of pyridine and acetic acid in acetonitrile at ambient conditions. The acetato ligand in 1 is coordinated to a pair of molybdenum atoms in a syn–syn bidentate bridging manner. (PyH)_n[MoOBr₄]_n afforded in an analogous synthetic procedure a tetranuclear cluster, [Mo₄O₈(OOCCH₃)₃(OH)Py₄] · 1/2CH ₃CN · 1/2H₂O (3), with a novel core which may be envisioned as the acetate- and hydroxide-assisted assembly of {Mo₂O₄}²⁺ building blocks. Its structure is presented in terms of known tetranuclear clusters which are also composed of two {Mo₂O₄}²⁺ units. The acetato ligands in 3 adopted apart from bidentate bridging binding modes also a monodentate one. Partial substitution of chlorido ligands in (PyH)₃[Mo₂O₄Cl₄(OOCCH₃)] · CH₃CN (1) with pyridine resulted in a neutral [Mo₂O₄Cl(OOCCH₃)Py₃] · PrⁱOH · Py (2) which retained the original acetate coordination. The title compounds were fully characterized by X-ray diffraction studies and infrared vibrational spectroscopy.
