Synthesis and characterization of some oxodiperoxo molybdenum(VI) complexes of Morpholinomethyl urea and related ligands

The oxodiperoxo complexes of Mo(VI) of the type [MoO(O₂)₂L], where L = Morpholinomethyl urea, morpholinomethyl thiourea, piperidinomethyl urea, piperidinomethyl thiourea, pyrrolidinomethyl urea, and pyrrolidinomethyl thiourea have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, IR, UV-Vis, and TGA/DTA techniques. It is shown that the ligands coordinate to the metal ion in a symmetrical bidentate fashion through heterocyclic nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen or thiocarbonyl sulfur. Thermal studies indicate continuous weight loss until a stable oxide is formed. The text was submitted by authors in English.
