I. Sheikhshoaie, V. Langer and S. A. Yasrebi

Abstract: In the title benzilidene Schiff base molybdenum(VI) complex, [Mo(C₁₅H₁₂N₂O₃)O₂(CH₃OH)], the Mo^VI ion is coordinated by two oxide O atoms and by two O atoms and one N atom of the tridentate N'-(3-methoxy-2-oxidobenzylidene)benzohydrazidate (L) Schiff base ligand. The methanol O atom completes the distorted octahedral configuration of the Mo^VI atom. Strong O-HN hydrogen bonds form a C(5) chain around a 2₁ screw axis. Weak C-H-O hydrogen bonds are also present.
