Dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes having the general formula cis-[MoO2(OMe)(L-n)] (1-6) with the tridentate 2-((2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenol and its substituted derivatives (HLn, n = 1-6) have been synthesized. Elemental analysis and various spectroscopic (IR, UV-Vis, H-1 NMR and fluorescence) measurements have been used for the characterization of the complexes. X-ray crystal structures of all the complexes, except for one, have been determined. In each of these analogous complexes, the metal centre is in a distorted octahedral N2O4 coordination sphere assembled by the meridionally spanning pyridine-N, azomethine-N and phenolate-O donor (L-n)(-), the methoxo-O and the two mutually cis oriented oxo groups. In the crystal, the complex molecules are involved in intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonding interactions involving the hydrazine NH and the metal coordinated methoxo-O. In four structures, discrete dimeric units are formed through a pair of reciprocal N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, while N-H center dot center dot center dot O bridged molecules form a linear one-dimensional polymeric assembly in the fifth structure.
