to the corresponding ligand [11]. In this context, molybdenum
(VI) complexes of this type of ligands constitute an important
class of compounds. As part of our studies on molybdenum
(VI) complexes with oxygen, nitrogen, and/or sulfur donor
ligands, we describe here the synthesis and structures of
MoO2L(DMSO) complexes, where L is 5-chlorosalicylalde-
hyde thiosemicarbazide (L1), 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde 2-eth-
ylthiosemicarbazide (L2) and 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde
N-phenylthiosemicarbazide (L3) ligands.

Experimental
General Procedures
Synthesis of Complexes
All the reagents and solvents employed were procured
commercially and used without subsequent purification.
The starting complex, bis(acetylacetato) dioxomolybde-
num(VI), [MoO2 (acac)2] was prepared as described in the
literatures [12, 13].

1H and 13C NMR spectra were measured in DMSO-d6 on a
JEOL Lambda and a ECA 400 MHz NMR spectrometers. IR
spectra were measured in Nujol mulls in the range of
4000–400 cm-1 by using a Perkin-Elmer 2000 FTIR instru-
ment. Elemental analysis was performed by the in-house
microanalytical laboratory using a Perkin-Elmer 2400 Series
II CHNS/O System. Single-crystal X-ray data collection was
carriedoutat100 KonaBrukerSmartApexIIdiffractometer.
A solution of L1 (0.231 g, 1.00 mmol), which was dis-
solved in 20.0 mL of ethanol was added to a solution of
MoO2(acac)2 in 20.0 mL methanol. A reddish precipitate
formed immediately DMSO was added dropwise until the
precipitate was completely dissolved in the solution. The
reaction mixture was then refluxed for 2 h and was allowed
to stand at room temperature. Reddish crystals were formed
after slow evaporation for 3 days. The products was fil-
tered, washed with ethanol and dried in air.

5-Chlorosalicylaldehyde (0.156 g, 1.00 mmol) was dis-
solved in 20 mL methanol. The solution was then added to a
20.0 mL thiosemicarbazide (0.091 g, 1.00 mmol) solution.
The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 h. A precipitate was
formed when the solution was allowed to cool at room
temperature overnight. The yellow precipitate was filtered,
washed with methanol and dried in air. m.p.: 138–140 °C
