Synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic characterization of heterometallic Cu/Mo complexes obtained under mild conditions

Abstract

Two novel heterometallic compounds, namely, {[Cu(5,5′-Me2bpy)2]2MoO4}(NO3)2·3H2O (1) and [Cu(phen)2Mo2O7(phen)]·{[Cu(phen)2]2MoO4}(NO3)2·15H2O (2), where phen = 1,10-henantroline, 5,5′-Me2bpy = 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, have been isolated under mild conditions. The influence of the copper source and organic ligands on the products composition has been investigated. Both compounds were characterized by elemental, TG/DTA and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, IR and EPR spectroscopies.
