The title compound, [Mo2F2O5(C10H8N2)2], is a centrosymmetric binuclear molybdenum(VI) species with the metal atoms in a distorted octahedral environment. The coordination geometries of the symmetry-equivalent molybdenum sites are defined by the cis-terminal oxide groups and the N-atom donors of the bipyridyl ligand in the equatorial plane with axial F and bridging O atoms. The bridging O atom occupies a center of symmetry. The molecules stack in the a-axis direction, and the crystal packing is stabilized by weak intra- and intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds.

The contemporary interest in metal oxides reflects their vast compositional range and structural versatility. One area of oxide chemistry that has witnessed considerable activity is that of zeolitic materials, compositions forming open-framework structures consisting of metal oxide components and organic moieties acting as charge compensating cations, structure-directing agents or ligands. While the majority of these materials are simple oxides or oxyanion based, the introduction of fluoride to substitute for some oxo-groups provides a novel class of oxyfluorometalates (Adil et al., 2010; Jones, et al., 2010; Michailovski, et al., 2006 and 2009; Burkholder and Zubieta, 2004).
In the course of our investigations of organic-inorganic oxide hybrid materials of molybdenum and vanadium, we have noted that F- is a useful mineralizing agent. However, under appropriate conditions of temperature and stoichiometry, fluoride may be incorporated into the coordinate covalent framework of the material to provide novel oxyfluorometalate composites. In the course of these investigations, the title compound [Mo2F2O5(bpy)2] was isolated.
The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic
P21/c with two binuclear molecules per The bridging oxo-group sits at a center of symmetry producing equivalent molybdenum sites. The coordination geometry is distorted octahedral with cis-dioxo groups and the bipyridine nitrogen donors in the equatorial plane; the axial positions are occupied by a terminal fluoride and the bridging oxo-group. The Mo—O (bridging) distance of 1.8747 (4)Å is considerably longer than the Mo—O (terminal) distances of 1.705 (3)Å and 1.710 (3) Å, as anticipated. The Mo—N distances of 2.319 (3)Å and 2.341 (3)Å exhibit the elongation associated with the strong trans-influence of the multiply-bonded oxo-groups. As shown in Figure, the molecules stack along the a-axial direction. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intra- and intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···F hydrogen bonds (Table).For oxyfluoromolybdates and oxyfluorovanadates see Adil et al.

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. |

The contemporary interest in metal oxides reflects their vast compositional range and structural versatility. One area of oxide chemistry that has witnessed considerable activity is that of zeolitic materials, compositions forming open-framework structures consisting of metal oxide components and organic moieties acting as charge compensating cations, structure-directing agents or ligands. While the majority of these materials are simple oxides or oxyanion based, the introduction of fluoride to substitute for some oxo-groups provides a novel class of oxyfluorometalates (Adil et al., 2010; Jones, et al., 2010; Michailovski, et al., 2006 and 2009; Burkholder and Zubieta, 2004).
In the course of our investigations of organic-inorganic oxide hybrid materials of molybdenum and vanadium, we have noted that F- is a useful mineralizing agent. However, under appropriate conditions of temperature and stoichiometry, fluoride may be incorporated into the coordinate covalent framework of the material to provide novel oxyfluorometalate composites. In the course of these investigations, the title compound [Mo2F2O5(bpy)2] was isolated.
The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with two binuclear molecules per unit cell. The bridging oxo-group sits at a center of symmetry producing equivalent molybdenum sites. The coordination geometry is distorted octahedral with cis-dioxo groups and the bipyridine nitrogen donors in the equatorial plane; the axial positions are occupied by a terminal fluoride and the bridging oxo-group. The Mo—O (bridging) distance of 1.8747 (4)Å is considerably longer than the Mo—O (terminal) distances of 1.705 (3)Å and 1.710 (3) Å, as anticipated. The Mo—N distances of 2.319 (3)Å and 2.341 (3)Å exhibit the elongation associated with the strong trans-influence of the multiply-bonded oxo-groups. As shown in Figure, the molecules stack along the a-axial direction. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intra- and intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···F hydrogen bonds (Table).
