The syntheses and crystallographic characterization of the linear trinuclear complex [Mo3O4(TPP)3]ClO4 and the monomeric precursors [MoO(TPP)(OClO3)] and [MoO(TPP)(OH2)]ClO4 are described. The crystallographic analyses of [MoO(TPP)(OClO3)] and [MoO(TPP)(OH2)]ClO4 show that these similar complexes are typical oxomolybdenum(V)-porphyrin complexes whose only significant structural differences are related to their respective axial ligands. [Mo3O4(TPP)3]ClO4 is obtained by the controlled hydrolysis of [MoO(TPP)(OClO3)] or by the direct reaction of [MoO(TPP)(OClO3)] with {[MoO(TPP)]2O}. This hydrolysis product contains the novel [Mo3O4(TPP)3](+) ion, which has an unprecedented linear [O=Mo-O-Mo-O-Mo=O](7+) unit and three nearly parallel 24-atom porphyrin mean planes. The central porphyrin is found to be rotated 29.3° and 29.7° with respect to the two terminal porphyrin ligands, which are nearly eclipsed (twist angle 0.44°). The formation of [Mo3O4(TPP)3]ClO4 instead of the μ-hydroxo-bridged binuclear complexes obtained from the hydrolysis of analogous mononuclear metalloporphyrin complexes is rationalized on the basis of the greater π-acceptor ability of Mo(V).
