Abstract: The title compound, -terephthalate-bis[tris(-N,N'-di-p-anisylformamidinate)dimolybdenum(II)] hexane disolvate, [{Mo₂(DAniF)₃}₂(-O₂CC₆H₄CO₂)] (DAniF is N,N'-di-p-anisylformamidinate, C₁₅H₁₅N₂O₂) crystallizes as the bis(hexane) solvate, in the form of large red needles, in space group P2₁/c. The molecule sits on an inversion center, and the bridging aryl ring displays a twist angle of 8.6 (10)° with respect to the plane defined by the two Mo₂ axes.
