Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of dioxomolybdenum (VI) complexes of an ONS donor ligand derived from benzoylacetone and S-benzyl dithiocarbazate
摘要:
A few dioxomolybdenum complexes of the type MoO2L and MoO2L center dot B of a new diprotic tridentate ONS chelating ligand, H2L, have been synthesized with the aim to examine their potential to behave as models for the active site of an oxidoreductase molybdoenzyme like xanthineoxidase. The MoO2L complex produces MoO2L center dot B on treatment with neutral monodentate Lewis bases such as gamma-picoline, 2-methylimidazole or 1-allylimidazole, utilizing the vacant sixth coordination site. They have been characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The complexes MoO2L (I), MoO2L(gamma-pic) (2) and MoO2L(1-allyl imz) (4) were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex (MoO2L)-O-VI exhibits oxotransfer to PPh3 in acetonitrile medium leading to the formation of (MoOL)-O-IV, which is reoxidized to (MoO2L)-O-VI on treatment with DMSO or pyridine N-oxide. DFT calculations on the ligand and complexes 1, 2 and 4 were also carried out. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
