Tetrakis(μ₂-diphenylphosphinato-κ²O,O′)tetra-μ₃-oxido-tetraoxidohexamolybdenum(V)

S. R. Mota Merelo de Aguiar, B. Stöger, M. Weil and K. Kirchner

The molecule of the title compound, [Mo₄(μ₂-C₁₂H₁₀OP₂)₄(μ₃-O)₄O₄], exhibits point group symmetry 2 with the twofold rotation axis passing through two opposite P atoms. Each Mo^V atom is bridged by three O atoms resulting in an Mo₄O₄ heterocubane core. In the crystal, weak C—H

O interactions may help to consolidate packing of the molecules.

Keywords: crystal structure; heterocubane; molybdenum; Mo₄O₄ core.

Synthesis and crystallization top

The original intention was to crystallize the compound [Mo(PNP^Me—Ph)(CO)₂F₂] (de Aguiar et al., 2014). One equivalent of 1-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium tetrafluoridoborate was added to a solution of [Mo(PNP^Me—Ph)(CO)₃] in 10 ml CH₂Cl₂ and stirred for three days. After filtration, the solution was layered with pentane and left to stand for several days. Instead of the desired compound [Mo(PNP^Me—Ph)(CO)₂F₂], the title compound crystallized in form of dark red blocks, apparently caused by the presence of larger amounts of oxygen in the reaction vessel.

Instead of the desired compound [Mo(PNP^Me—Ph)(CO)₂F₂], the title compound crystallized in form of dark-red blocks, apparently caused by the presence of larger amounts of oxygen in the reaction vessel.

Structure description top

The title compound had formed accidentally due to the presence of oxygen in a solution originally intended to crystallize the PNP pincer compound [Mo(PNP^Me—Ph)(CO)₂F₂] [(PNP^Me—Ph) = N,N'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-N,N'-methyl-2,6-diaminopyridine (de Aguiar et al., 2014). A chloroform disolvate of the title compound was reported by Schirmer et al. (1989). The molecule of the title compound, Fig. 1 [MoO(µ₃-O)(µ₂-C₁₂H₁₀PO₂)]₄, exhibits point group symmetry 2 with the twofold rotation axis passing through two opposite P atoms. Each molybdenum atom is bridged by three oxygen atoms resulting in a Mo₄O₄ heterocubane core. The distorted octahedral coordination spheres of the two unique molybdenum atoms [bond lengths range from 1.6686 (19) to 2.3982 (19) Å] are completed by a double-bonded terminal oxygen atom and two oxygen atoms of two diphenylphosphinate anions, each bridging two opposite molybdenum atoms in the heterocube. The short Mo···Mo distance of 2.6395 (3) Å indicates Mo^V···Mo^V interactions and causes a distortion of the Mo₄O₄ heterocubane core with O—Mo—O angles ranging from 77.94 (7) to 89.87 (7)° and Mo—O—Mo angles from 84.60 (7) to 102.02 (7) °. For characteristic bond lengths and angles of {Mo₄O₄(µ₃-O₄}⁴⁺ heterocubane cores, see: Modec et al. (2003). In the crystal, weak C—H···O interactions, Table 1, may help to consolidate packing of the molecules, Fig. 2.

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.
