Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Catalytic Activity of Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) Complex with Tridentate ONO
Abstract:
A novel dioxidomolybdenum complex, [MoO(2)L], derived from the tridentate aroylhydrazone 2-amino-N'-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)benzohydrazide (H(2)L), has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, (1)H NMR, and single crystal structural X-ray diffraction. The complex has distorted square pyramidal structure in which the aroylhydrazone ligand behaves as a binegative donor one, leaving the amino-N uncoordinated towards the metal center. Single crystal structure analysis reveals that the Mo(VI) center is coordinated by the donor atoms of the binegative aroylhydrazone ligand and two oxido groups. Crystal of the complex is stabilized by hydrogen bonds. The complex functions as an effective olefin epoxidation catalyst with hydrogen peroxide as terminal oxidant and sodium hydrogen carbonate as a co-catalyst.

02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

02:34Structural 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...

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
