Supporting information
The title compound was prepared by adding MoO2(acac)2 and the ligand H2L (Corden et al., 1996) in the molar ratio 1:1 to 30 mL dry methanol, followed by refluxing the solution for 1 h. Small prismatic, yellowish crystals precipitated which were filtered off and recrystallized from acetonitrile to get a better crystal quality.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 Å for H atoms bonded to sp2 C atoms, and C—H = 0.97 Å for H atoms bonded to sp3 C atoms, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 and 1.5 Ueq(C), respectively.

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. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Numerous chemical reactions are catalyzed by compounds containing complexes with the dioxidomolybdenum(VI) unit O═MoVI═O (Arnaiz et al. 2000). Moreover, Schiff base compounds containing molybdenum play a significant role in the chemistry of molybdoenzymes (Holm et al. 1996; Syamal & Maurya, 1989). Therefore we are interested in the structural chemistry of dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes and have synthesized and structurally characterized the title compound, MoO2(C19H20N2O2), (I).
The molecular structure of (I) and the atom-numbering scheme are shown in Fig. 1. The molybdenum(VI) atom is in a distorted octahedral coordination by two oxygen atoms and one tetradentate ligand L, where L is N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine. The Mo–O distances of the oxido ligands are significantly shorter (average 1.71 Å) than the corresponding distances to the O atoms of the tetradentate ligand (average 2.02 Å). The Mo–N distances are the longest (average 2.24 Å). An intramolecular hydrogen bond is present between the methylene group and one O atom from the O═Mo═O group (C4—H41···O2, 2.985 Å). Much weaker intermolecular hydrogen bonds exist between neighboring molecules, leading to an dimer structure (see hydrogen bond Table and Fig. 2). For a packing plot of the structure, see Fig. 3. Resulting from the coordination of the tetradentate L ligand to the molybdenum ion, the chelate ligand is more twisted than the free ligand, with a larger dihedral angle between two phenyl rings of 75.2 (1)° compared to the free ligand with 68.7 (1)° (Corden et al., 1996).
