Dioxomolybdenum(VI) Complexes of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde 4-phenyl-S-methylthiosemicarbazone(1)

Abstract

Mixed ligand complexes of dioxomolybdenum(VI) with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde 4-phenyl-S-methylthiosemicarbazone (H2L) were prepared with the formula [MoO2(L)D] (D = H,O, methyl, n-butyl, and n-undecyl alcohol, DMF, DMSO, pyridine, 4-picoline, and 3,5-lutidine). The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The thermal decomposition of the compounds were investigated by using TGA, DTG, and DTA methods in air, and the thermal behavior depending on the second ligand molecule was discussed. A single crystal of the DMF coordinated complex was studied by X-ray diffractometry.
