Abstract
The first example of a MoOS2+ complex, cis-[MoOS(C5H10NO)2][C5H10NO = piperidine N-oxido(1–)], prepared by reaction of the corresponding cis-MoO22+ complex with B2S3, has been crystallographically characterised. The title compound crystallises in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a= 9.671(1), b= 22.401(2), c= 13.116(2)A, β= 95.51(1)°, and eight molecules, comprising two crystallographically distinct species, per unit cell. The structure has been determined from 4 033 unique observed diffractometer data and refined to R= 0.047. The two independent molecules are virtually identical, and possess Mo–O and Mo–S bonds of length 1.723(12) and 2.106(5)A respectively and an O–Mo–S interbond angle of 116.9(7)°. The dimensions and a selection of spectroscopic properties of the title complex are compared with those of the corresponding cis-[MoY2(C5H10NO)2](Y = O or S) complexes; cis-[MoS2(C5H10NO)2] may be prepared by treating the MoOS2+ complex with B2S3.
