Solubilities of molybdenum(O)-diimine-tetracarbonyl complexes containing pyridyl-primary amine Schiff base or substituted 1,4-diazabutadiene ligands are reported, for a variety of non-aqueous solvents, and for toluene + heptane, toluene + methanol, and methanol-rich methanol + water mixed solvents. Enthalpies and entropies of solution for several of these complexes in a selection of solvents have been derived from temperature variation of solubilities. These results, together with new data on solvent effects on infrared and n.m.r. (1H, 13C, 95Mo) spectra and published data on solvatochromism of this family of compounds, are discussed in relation to solvation of these complexes in pure and mixed solvents.
