Abstract
Dioxomolybdenum(VI) and oxotungsten(VI) complexes with a new amine bisphenol ligand (H2L) are reported. The ligand which carries a neutral nitrogen atom, two phenolic oxygen atoms and a thiophene side-arm was synthesized by a simple one-pot Mannich reaction. Further reaction with [MoO2(acac)2] yielded a monomeric molybdenum complex [MoO2(L)(MeOH)] (2a) or a dimeric complex [Mo2O2(μ-O)2(L)2] (2b), depending on the reaction conditions. The reaction with a tungsten trisglycolate [W(eg)3] led to the formation of a monomeric compound [WO(eg)(L)] (3). In these complexes, the potentially tetradentate amine bisphenolate dianion coordinates as a tridentate O,N,O donor while the sulfur side-arm donor remains intact. The solid-state structure of 2a was investigated by X-ray crystallography.
