The single‐crystal structure of tetratin tetracosa­molybdenum octatriaconta­oxide, Sn_4.4Mo₂₄O₃₈, contains infinite chains of centrosymmetric dioctahedral Mo₁₀ and centrosymmetric trioctahedral Mo₁₄ clusters. These clusters, as well as the O atoms, the arrangement of which derives from a closest‐packing with the layer sequence …ABAC…, form sheets parallel to the ac plane of the monoclinic unit cell. The Mo—Mo distances range from 2.6225 (7) to 2.8212 (9) Å and from 2.6270 (7) to 2.8365 (7) Å in the Mo₁₀ and Mo₁₄ clusters, respectively.

The three crystallographically independent Sn²⁺ ions are off the centre of distorted oxy­gen octahedra.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Bonding of (PCl4)2[Mo2Cl10], the First Compound in Mo–P–Cl System

An ampule reaction between Mo and PCl₅ at 200 °C yielded (PCl₄)₂[Mo₂Cl₁₀], the first ternary compound in Mo–P–Cl system. Single crystal X-ray diffraction gave a triclinic unit cell: a = 6.870(1), b = 8.892(2), c = 9.423(2) Å, α = 100.24(2), β = 95.55(2), γ = 96.12(2)° (V = 559.3(2) ų, Z = 1, sp. gr. P1, wR₂ = 0.0575 and R₁ = 0.0279. The ionic compound is built from edge sharing bioctahedra [Mo₂Cl₁₀]^2– and two tetrahedra PCl₄⁺. The averaged Mo–Cl_b distance, 2.503(1) Å, is longer than the Mo–Cl_t distance, 2.33(2) Å. The Mo … Mo distance, 3.77 Å, indicates the absence of a direct Mo–Mo interaction. Semiempirical and ab initio calculations showed the possibility for [Mo₂Cl₁₀]^2– to exist with long and short Mo to Mo distances, the letter corresponding to the Mo–Mo bond.     

Two Succinato‐bridged Zinc(II) Phenanthroline Complexes: [Zn(phen)L2/2](H2L) and [(phen)2Zn(μ‐L)Zn(phen)2]L � 11H2O with H2L = Succinic Acid

Two mixed ligand Zn^II complexes [Zn(phen)L_2/2](H₂L) ( 1 ) and [(phen)₂Zn(μ‐L)Zn(phen)₂]L � 11H₂O ( 2 ) with H₂L = suc‐cinic acid were prepared and crystallographically characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c (no. 15) with a = 13.618(1) Å, b = 9.585(1) Å, c = 15.165(1) Å, β = 96.780(6)°, V = 1965.6(3)ų, Z = 4 and complex 2 in the triclinic space group P 1¯ (no. 2) with a = 12.989(2)Å, b = 14.464(2)Å, c = 18.025(3)Å, α = 90.01(1)°, β = 109.69(1)°, γ = 112.32(1)°, V = 2917.4(8) ų, Z = 2. 1 consists of succinic acid molecules and 1D zigzag [Zn(phen)(C₄H₄O₄)_2/2] polymeric chains, in which the tetrahedrally coordinated Zn atoms are bridged by bis ‐ monodentate succinato ligands. Succinic acid molecules play an important role in supramolecular assemblies of the polymeric chains into 2D layers as well as in the stacking of 2D layers. 2 is composed of [(phen)₂Zn(μ‐L)Zn(phen)₂]²⁺ complex cations, succinate anions and hydrogen bonded water molecules. Within the divalent cations, Zn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms of two phen ligands and two O atoms of one bis‐chelating succinato ligand. Through the intermolecular π—π stacking interactions, the complex cations form positively charged 2D layers, between which the noncoordinating succinate anions and water molecules are sandwiched.     

The First Titanium Molybdenum Antimonide: Ti5.42Mo2.58Sb9, a Substitution Variant of Zr2V6Sb9

The new ternary antimonide Ti_5.42(2)Mo_2.58Sb₉ was uncovered by a reaction of the elements under exclusion of air at 1150 °C. It crystallizes in a ternary substitution variant of the V_7.5Sb₉ type, a structure not known to exist in either the Ti/Sb or the Mo/Sb system. The crystal structure of Ti_5.42Mo_2.58Sb₉ was determined from single crystal X‐ray data: space group P4/nmm, with a = 9.8178(8) Å, c = 7.1857(8) Å, V = 692.6(1) ų, Z = 2, R1 = 0.025, wR2 = 0.052 (all data). The structure contains four metal atom sites, two thereof occupied solely by Ti atoms, and two by different Ti/Mo mixtures. The former two correspond to the Zr sites, and the latter two to the V sites of the isostructural antimonide Zr₂V₆Sb₉. The crystal structure is comprised of chains of face‐sharing TiSb₈ square antiprisms, Ti/Mo tetrahedra and Sb atom pairs and squares. The electronic structure, computed with the LMTO approximation, is indicative of metallic properties. In addition to the dominating metal–Sb bonds, strong metal–metal and Sb–Sb bonds exist as well in Ti_5.42Mo_2.58Sb₉. The Mo content per metal site increases with increasing metal–metal interactions.

Compound 1 consists of complex molecules [Zn(phen)(C₉H₁₅O₄)₂] in which the Zn atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and two O atoms of different monodentate hydrogen azelaato groups. Intermolecular C(alkyl)‐H···π interactions and the intermolecular C(aryl)‐H···O and O‐H···O hydrogen bonds are responsible for the supramolecular assembly of the [Zn(phen)(C₉H₁₅O₄)₂] complexes. Compound 2 is built up from crystal H₂O molecules and the centrosymmetric binuclear [Zn₂(phen)₂(H₂O)₂(C₁₀H₁₆O₄)₂] complex, in which two [Zn(phen)(H₂O)]²⁺ moieties are bridged by two sebacato ligands. Through the intermolecular C(alkyl)‐H···O hydrogen bonds and π‐π stacking interactions, the binuclear complex molecules are assembled into layers, between which the lattice H₂O molecules are sandwiched.

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von PbMo5O8; ein reduziertes Oxomolybdat mit Mo10O28-Oktaederdoppeln

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of PbMo₅O₈; a reduced Oxomolybdate with Mo₁₀O₂₈ Double Octahedra The crystal structure of the new phase PbMo₅O₈ contains oligometric Mo clusters which consist of two edge-sharing Mo₆ octahedra connected according to Mo₁₀OOO. The compound is isotypic with LaMo₅O₈. Isolated, divalent Pb atoms are located in the “channels” of the monoclinic structure (a = 999.3(2) pm, b = 924.7(1) pm, c = 753.6(2) pm, β = 109.39(2)°, P2₁/a. Compared to the compound In ₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂ the Mo? O distances (average 206 pm) and the Mo? Mo distances within the octahedral units (average 275 pm) are slightly decreased by 1 and 4 pm, respectively. The very short Mo? Mo distances (278 pm) between the cluster units which are not observed in In₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂ (320 pm) are due to excess electrons in these inter-cluster bonds which would otherwise occupy antibonding cluster states.

Metal–metal bond energies in Mo2, Mo2Cl,and Mo2(O2CH)4

Previous attempts to determine the strengths of multiple metal-metal bonds are reviewed. Estimates of 73 and 97 kcal/mole for the Mo? Mo bond energies in Mo₂Cl and Mo₂(O₂CH)₄, respectively, are obtained by combining the known experimental bond energy in Mo₂ (96.5 ± 5 kcal/mole) with the results of SCF-Xα-SW calculations on Mo₂, Mo₂Cl, and Mo₂(O₂CH)₄. Possible errors in the estimates are discussed. It is noted that the quadruple bonds in the complexes are predicted stronger per component than the sextuple bond in the diatomic.

The claw‐like Zn‐centered complexes of Zn(N₄C₆H₁₈) as the supported templates, hang into the 12‐MR channels through Zn‐O‐P linkages with framework.     

A series of Mixed-Valent Molybdenum Monophosphates,isotypic with leucophosphite represented by CsMo2P2O10 and K1.5Mo2P2O10 · H2O

The structure of two mixed valent molybdenum phosphates, CsMo₂P₂O₁₀ and K_1.5Mo₂P₂O₁₀ · H₂O has been solved from single crystals by X-ray diffraction in the space group P2₁/c with a = 9.428(1), b = 9.943(2), c = 12.348(2) Å and β = 127.38(1)° for CsMo₂P₂O₁₀ and a = 9.721(2), b = 9.805(3), c = 12.329(3) Å and β = 128.73(2)° for K_1.5Mo₂P₂O₁₀ · H₂O. These compounds isotypic with NH₄Mo₂P₂O₁₀ · H₂O and RbMo₂P₂O₁₀ · (1 ? x)H₂O exhibit the leucophosphite structure. The possibility of cationic non stoichiometry in this structure is also shown by the synthesis of two isotypic compounds A_1.5Mo₂P₂O₁₀ · xH₂O (A = Rb, Tl). In these monophosphates, one site Mo(1) is fully occupied by Mo^V, whereas the other octahedral site Mo(2) exhibits a variable valency Mo^III? Mo^IV to Mo^V. The main difference between these different phosphates deals with the distribution of the A cations inside the tunnels, depending upon their size and their content.
