A binuclear dihalodioxido molybdenum compounds for bio-medicinal use

Abstract

Synthesis of binuclear dioxidomolybdate chloranilate complex of general formula [(MoO2X2)2(C6O4X2)] (where X = Cl, Br) were synthesized by dropwise addition of dichloromethane solution of chloranil (tetrachloro-1, 4-benzoquinone) with dichloro/dibromo dioxidobis(dimethylformamide) molybdenum(VI) in 1:2 M ratio by conventional, as well as, microwave irradiation (solvent free and solid support) methods. In [(MoO2X2)2(C6O4X2)] the environment around each molybdenum atom can be assign as the anticipated distorted octahedral coordination for the metal consisting of one terminal and one bridging oxygen along with chlorine atoms of the chloranil ligand. The binuclear dihalodioxidomolybdate(VI) complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 13C NMR, UV–Vis and Mass Spectrometry to determine the complex formation. The synthesized binuclear dihalodioxidomolybdate(VI) complexes with plurality of uses as micro biocides and insecticide for controlling undesirable micro-organisms and pests in crop protection, protection of materials, household and veterinary pests apart from being cytotoxic. The synthesized complexes were also screened for their anti-inflammatory, antiulcer and antitumor activity using standard methods.
