Abstract: In the title compound, [Mo(C₅H₄NO₂)₂O₂], the Mo^VI atom exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination geometry formed by two terminal oxo ligands and two monoanionic O,O-bidentate pyridinone ligands. The two terminal oxo ligands lie in a cis arrangement, the ketonic O atoms of the pyridinone ligands are coordinated trans to the oxo ligands and the deprotonated hydroxyl O atoms are located trans to each other. The crystal structure contains intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonds, C-HO contacts and face-to-face - stacking interactions with an interplanar separation of 3.25 (1) Å.
