The reactions between bis(acetylacetonato)dioxomolybdenum(VI) and Schiff base ligands derived from 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde or 3-ethoxy-salicylaldehye, and 3-methoxy-benzoic hydrazide (m-anisic hydrazide), 2-furoic hydrazide or 2,4-dihydroxy-benzoic hydrazide in the presence of donor solvents yielded cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with the general formula MoO2L(D), where L = tridentate Schiff base ligand and D = dimethylsulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoramide, dimethylformamide, imidazole or methanol. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, electronic spectra, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, cyclic voltammetry, and the molecular structures of five of the dioxomolybdenum complexes were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffractometion studies. In general, the complexes adopt an octahedral environment around the Mo center with a cis-oxo configuration. The other coordination sites are occupied by the imino nitrogen, phenoxyl oxygen, hydroxyl oxygen of the tridentate Schiff base and the donor atom of the solvent molecule. The structural data revealed that the labile coordination site, which is occupied by N or O atoms from the donor solvents, has a longer Mo-O or Mo-N bond distance.
