Abstract: In the structure of the title compound, [Mo(C₁₁H₁₃NO₃)O₂(CH₃OH)], the Mo^VI ion is octahedrally coordinated by two oxide O atoms, the N atom and two deprotonated OH groups of the tridentate Schiff base ligand 2-methoxy-6-[(2-oxidopropyl)iminomethyl]phenolate and by a methanol O atom. In the crystal structure, two complexes are linked via O-HO hydrogen bonds, yielding a centrosymmetric arrangement involving the methanol hydroxy group and one of the ligand O atoms coordinated to the Mo^VI ion.
