The reactions of tetrazole ligand derived from 2-cyanopyridine with KNa[Mo(CN)O]·6HO and KNa[W(CN)O]·6HO in water-ethanol solution result in isolation of two new complexes with the following formulae: (PPh)[Mo(CN)O(pdt)]·2HO (1) (Hpdt = 5-(2-pyridil)-1H-tetrazole) and (PPh)[W(CN)O(pdt)]·3HO (2). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, single crystal X-ray structure measurements, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry measurement as well as thermogravimetric measurement. The X-ray crystal structure measurements indicated the presence of two coordination isomers in a single crystal. The pyridine nitrogen occupies both trans and/or cis position to the M[double bond, length as m-dash]O bond, which is explained by similar pK of pyridine and tetrazole nitrogen. The DTG measurements indicate the stabilization of tetrazole upon coordination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
