Abstract:
Interaction of [MoO2(acac)2] with internally functionalized oximes like HON=C(CH3)Ar (Ar = C4H3S, C4H3O or C5H4N) and Schiff's Bases derived from β - diketones like HOC(R)CHC(R')=NC6H5 (R = R' = CH3 or C6H5; R = CH3 and R' = C6H5) led to the formation of yellow dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of the type [MoO2{ON=C(CH3)Ar}2] and [MoO2{OC(R)CHC(R')=NC6H5}2]. Oximes were synthesized by green methodology. The newly synthesized complexes were characterized on basis of elemental analysis and various spectral findings. Anticandidal activity of [MoO2{ON=C(CH3)C6H4N}2] clearly reveals that the complex is biologically active against fungal diseases.

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...
