Molybdenum(VI) Complexes with Schiff Base Containing N-Hetero Atom
Parent dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex formation by the reaction of MoO2(acac)2 with Schiff base tetradentate ligand, described in this paper. Schiff base tetradentate ligand [H2NCH2CH2 N=CC4H3S-CC4H3S=NCH2CH2NH2] obtained from the condensation of di-2-thienylethanedione with 1,2-diaminoethane. Macrocyclic molybdenum complexes were obtained from the cyclization of a synthesized complex with different 1,3 – diketones. The general formula of parent molybdenum complex is given as [MoO2( H2NCH2CH2 N=CC4H3S – CC4H3S=N CH2CH2NH2)](acac)2 and for macrocyclic molybdenum complex is [MoO2{(CH2CH2 N=CC4H3S – CC4H3S=N CH2CH2) N=C(R)CH2C(R’)=N}](acac)2. Ligand and all molybdenum complexes were characterized by elemental analyses(EA), molar conductivity(ΛM), ultraviolet(UV-Vis), and infrared (IR) spectral studies. The distorted octahedral geometry of element Mo in the parent as well as in macrocyclic molybdenum complexes is completed by two oxo O-atoms, four N-atoms from derived Schiff ligand.
