The mononuclear title complex, [Mo(C9H9NO2)O2(H2O)], contains an Mo(VI) atom in a distorted octahedral coordination sphere defined by an Mo=O and an Mo—(OH2) bond to the axial ligands and two Mo—O bonds to phenolate and alcoholate O atoms, another Mo=O bond and one Mo—N bond to the imino N atom in the equatorial plane. The five-membered metalla-ring shows an envelope conformation. In the crystal, individual molecules are connected into a layered arrangement parallel to (100) by means of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule as a donor group and the O atoms of neighbouring complexes as acceptor atoms. These interactions lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
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.
