The title complex, [Mo
2(CH
3O)
6(NO)
2(H
2O)
2], is a pseudocentrosymmetric dimer. The Mo
II centres are bridged by two methoxo groups and adopt distorted octahedral geometries. The crystal structure exhibits two intramolecular O—H
O contacts (O
O < 3.0 Å) between coordinated water molecules and methoxo groups. One H atom of each water molecule is disordered equally over two sites.

Two equivalents of sodium hydroxide were added to a methanol solution of
Mo(NO)2(Cl)2 in order to produce Mo(NO)2(OH)2(MeOH)2. The green
solution was slowly added to two equivalents of
1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantate (PTA) partly dissolved in methanol and the
colour of the solution turned red within one hour. The IR spectrum of the
reaction solution exhibited a strong NO band at 1638 cm-1 indicating loss of
one nitrosyl ligand from the molybdenum coordination sphere. Also the
solid-state IR (ATR) spectrum of the soluble part revealed a ν(NO) absorption
at 1640 cm-1 and a very weak one at 1620 cm-1, and additionally a strong
ν(CO) band at 1037 cm-1 and a few other signals attributable to PTA and to
the corresponding phosphine oxyde (OPTA). The compounds soluble in methanol
were redissolved in dichloromethane and red crystals of compound
[Mo(µ-OMe)(OMe)2(NO)(H2O)]2 (I) co-crystallized together with PTA and
OPTA.
While the hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms were placed in geometrically
calculated positions, those on water molecules were located in a difference
Fourier map and then refined with the O—H distances restrained to 0.86 (2) Å. Three residual peaks could be attributed to H atoms for each coordinated
water molecules. The positional disorders were refined with H5A and H10A with
occupancy factors as unity and the second hydrogen atoms occupying two sites,
H5B/H5C and H10B/H10C (occupancy factors of 1/2). Except H5A and H10A, all H
atoms were included in the refinement with Uiso values of
1.3Ueq (parent atom).

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.

The molybdenum dimer (I) exhibits a planar central four-membered Mo2O2 ring (torsional angle of 1.33 (11)°) with a Mo—Mo distance of 3.3933 (7) Å excluding any metal–metal bond. The nitrosyl ligands are nearly linear (176.7 (3) and 175.2 (3)°) and coordinated in trans positions to the methoxy bridges as observed in [Mo2(C5H5)2(OMe)2(CH2SiMe3)2(NO)2] (Hayton et al., 2002). Two terminal methoxo ligands complete the nearly planar core [Mo2(µ-OMe)2(NO)2(OMe)2] whereas the two other ones are almost perpendicular to this plane and trans to coordinated water molecules. The Mo—Oaq bond distances of 2.269 (4) Å and 2.274 (4) Å are longer than the reported unweighted mean of 2.201 Å (Orpen et al., 1989).
In this conformation we observe two intramolecular O—H···H contacts (H10A···O4 = 2.06 (3) Å, O10···O4 = 2.929 (5) Å; H5A···O8 = 2.24 (6) Å, O5···O8 = 2.991 (5) Å) between the methoxo groups and the water molecules located on the same side of the Mo2O2 plane (Fig. 1). The other water H atoms are positionally disordered and form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with oxygen atoms of the nitrosyl groups and of one terminal methoxo ligand (O···O < 3.3 Å).
