Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Catalytic Property of Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) Complexes with Tridentate Hydrazones
Abstract:
New dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes with the formula [MoO2L(MeOH)], derived from N'-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-benzylidene)-2-methylbenzohydrazide (H2L1) and N'-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methylbenzohydrazide (H2L2) were prepared. Crystal and molecular structures of the complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray dif-fraction method. Both complexes were further characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR spectra. Single crystal X-ray structural studies indicate that the hydrazones L1 and L2 coordinate to the MoO2 cores through the enolate oxygen, phenolate oxygen and azomethine nitrogen. The Mo atoms in both complexes are in octahedral coordination. Catalytic properties for epoxidation of styrene by the complexes using PhIO and NaOCl as oxidant have been studied.

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,...
