{2,2'-[(2,2-Dimethyl-propane-1,3-di-yl)-bis-(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]-diphenolato}-dioxidomolybdenum(VI)
Abstract:
In the structure of the title compound, [Mo(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(2))O(2)], the Mo atom exhibits oxidation state +VI and is surrounded by two O atoms and the tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand 2,2'-[(2,2-dimethyl-propane-1,3-di-yl)bis-(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolate in a distorted octa-hedral configuration. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond between a methyl-ene group and one O atom of the O=Mo(VI)=O unit, as well as additional inter-molecular hydrogen bonds between neighboring mol-ecules, lead to a weakly bonded inversion-symmetric dimeric structure.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
