Chelates of dioxomolybdenum(VI) with Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde and aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic amines and diamines have been synthesized by ligand exchange and template synthesis methods. Complexes with the general formula MoO/sub 2/L/sub 2/ form of N-alkyl- and N-arylsalicylidenimines (HL). Chelates with molybdenum-ligand ratios equal to 1:1 and 1:2 are realized with heterocyclic azomethines. Bis(salicylidene) diimines form only complexes with a 1:1 composition. The compounds isolated are finely crystalline substances, which predominantly have a yellow color and limited solubility in methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide. On the basis of data from conductometry, UV, IR, and /sup 1/H NMR spectroscopy it has been postulated that the complexes have an octahedral structure with maintenance of the cis configuration of the MoO/sub 2/ group. A dimeric or polymeric structure has been proposed for the 1:1 complexes. The thermal decomposition of the azomethine complexes of molybdenum(VI) under dynamic conditions takes place in two stages and ultimately results in the formation of MoO/sub 3/.
