Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mo(C₂₇H₂₄N₂O₂)O₂]·1.75CH₂Cl₂, the Mo^VI ion is coordinated by two oxide O atoms and by two O and two N atoms of the tetradentate 1,1'-[(2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]di-2-naphtholate Schiff base ligand in a distorted octahedral configuration. The compound crystallizes with 1.75 molecules of dichloromethane per complex molecule. In the crystal, symmetry-related molecules are linked by a number of C-HO interactions involving both the Schiff base ligand and the partly disordered dichloromethane solvent molecules, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional network extending parallel to (101).
