The flexibly-bridged hexadentate tetraanionic ligands, L4- and their binuclear dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, IR, NMR and electrometric studies.The isolated complexes have an oligomeric structure, n in which each molybdenum achieves a pseudo-octahedral structure via Mo...O->Mo bridging.The complexes accept neutral donor molecules (D) like pyridine, 4-methyl-pyridine, imidazole, etc., through their sixth labile binding site available in both 2+ units and form .The cyclic voltammetric measurements indicate irreversible to quasireversible reduction of the molybdenum(VI) complexes to molybdenum(IV) with a cathiodic reduction potential of -0.83 to -0.85 V vs SCE at the scan rate of 200 mV/s.
