The title compound, [Mo4(C16H20)2O8]·6H2O, is a centrosymmetric ansa-molybdocene complex in which two dinuclear [C2Me45-C5H4)2]Mo(μ2-O)2MoO2 units dimerize by forming two μ3-O bridges between three Mo atoms. The ansa-molybdocene [C2Me45-C5H4)2]Mo unit has a typical bent-sandwich metallocene structure with an inter-ring angle of 127.98 (8)°. The Mo atom in the bridging (μ2-O)(μ3-O)2MoO2 group has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination. The Mo—(μ3-O) and Mo—(μ2-O) bond distances inside the units [2.0869 (14) and 2.1014 (15) Å, respectively] are slightly longer than the Mo(−x + 1, −y + 1, −z)—(μ3-O) bond distance between the units [1.9986 (14) Å]. The solvent water mol­ecules together with complex O atoms form a network of O—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

We previously reported the synthesis and characterization of ansa-molybdocenes bridged by tetramethylethylene linkages (Ahmed et al., 2007). Of those species, the monomeric [{C2Me4(η5-C5H4)2}Mo(OH)(OH2)][C7H7SO3] was exploited for catalytic hydration and hydrolysis reactions in aqueous solution.

The title complex, (I), was obtained as large needles from the slow oxidation of the [{C2Me4(η5-C5H4)2}Mo(OH)(OH2)][C7H7SO3] catalyst in the presence of 0.50 ml ethyl acetate in water at approximately pH 4. It is uncertain whether the title compound exists in equilibrium with the catalytic complex in water under anaerobic conditions. The compound is a centrosymmetric ansa-molybdocene complex in which two {C2Me4(η5-C5H4)2}Mo(µ2-O)2MoO2 units are connected by two µ3-O bridges between three Mo atoms (Fig. 1). The ansa-molybdocene {C2Me4(η5-C5H4)2}Mo2 has a typical bent-sandwich structure with an angle of 127.98 (8)° between the average planes of the C5-rings. The Mo atom in the bridging (µ2-0)(µ3-O)2MoO2 group has a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination. The Mo(1)-(µ3-O) and Mo(1)-(µ2-O) bond distances, 2.0869 (14) and 2.1014 (15) Å, respectively, are slightly longer than the O(1)-Mo(2)(1-x, 1-y,-z) bond distance, 1.9986 (14) Å (Table 1). Solvent water molecules together with O atoms of the (µ2-0)(µ3-O)2MoO2 groups form a network of H-bonds (Table 2, Fig. 2).

Analogous non-ansa oxides, [(η5-C5H4R)2Mo2O4]2 (where R = H or Me), were reported in previous literature (Prout et al., 1974, Prout & Daran, 1978, Adam & Green, 1981). In those cases, the tetranuclear molybdenum dimers were prepared by reaction of the respective molybdocene dichloride, (η5-C5H4R)2MoCl2, and sodium molybdate. The structure of the [(η5-C5H4Me)2Mo2O4]2 was determined by single crystal diffraction methods (Prout & Daran, 1978). The central framework in this compound is similar to that found in the title compound.

It would be much more useful to readers if the "Related literature" section had some kind of simple sub-division, so that, instead of just "For related literature, see···;" it said, for example, "For general background, see···; For related structures, see···; etc. Please revise this section as indicated.

Experimental top

Ethyl acetate (7 ml) was added to an NMR tube containing [{C2Me4(η55-C5H4)2}Mo(OH)(OH2)][C7H7SO3] (0.0023 mg, 0.0026 mmol) in 0.50 ml D2O. The mixture was allowed to react over two months at 323 K during which time the ethyl acetate was converted to ethanol and acetic acid. As the reaction proceeded, the mixture turned dark in color and crystalline needles of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis appeared on the NMR tube walls.

Refinement top

The positions of the H atoms in solvent water molecules were found from the residual density and their positions were freely refined with isotropic thermal parameters. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined in a rigid group model, C—H = 0.98 Å (C5-rings) and 0.96 Å (Me-groups); Uiso(H) = 1.2 and 1.5 Ueq(C), respectively.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)

are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken

into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles

and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only

used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)

treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
