The synthesis and x-ray diffraction analysis (lambdaMo, 2019 reflections, anisotropic least-squares method, H atoms in calculated positions, R = 0.042) of MoO/sub 2/L/sub 2/ (I), where L = N(Ph) = CH-C/sub 6/H/sub 4/-O, have been carried out. The crystals are monoclinic: ..cap alpha.. = 22.765, b = 6.717, c = 15.507 A, ..beta.. = 107.59/sup 0/, rho(mea) = 1.55 g/cm/sup 3/, Z = 4, space group C2/c (the molecule is on the twofold axis). The Mo atom has octahedral coordination owing to the two O(oxo) atoms in cis positions, two N(L) atoms in the trans positions to the O(oxo) atoms, and two O(L) atoms in trans positions to one another. The lengths of the bonds are as follows: Mo-O(oxo) = 1.706, Mo-N(L) = 2.382, Mo-O(L) = 1.942 A. The Mo atom is displaced from the center of the octahedron 0.162 A toward the multiply bonded ligands (the O(oxo)-O(oxo) edge). The six-membered MoNOC/sub 3/ chelate ring has an asymmetrically twisted boat conformation with deviations of the Mo and C(1) atoms from the C/sub 2/ON plane equal to +0.651 and -0.128 A, respectively. The Mo-N(O) bonds are strongly elongated due to the trans influence of the oxo ligands. The results of the investigation of complex I have been compared with the literature data for monomeric octahedral dioxo complexes of Mo(6+) with n-dentate L ligands (n = 2 to 4) containing Mo-N(L) bonds in the trans positions to the M=O(oxo) bonds.
