The tris(benzene-1,2-dithiolato) complex (Li)2[Mo IV(C6H4S2-1,2)3] {(Li)2[MoIV(bdt)3]} (bdt2- = C 6H4S2-1,2 dianion) was synthesized from [MoCl4(CH3CN)2], (H2bdt), and nBuLi in THF. Complex (Li)2[MoIV(bdt)3] undergoes aerial oxidation to give Li[MoV(bdt)3]. Both complexes were crystallized from methanol as the salts (PNP)2[Mo IV(bdt)3] and (PNP)[MoV(bdt)3] {PNP+ = bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium cation), and their molecular structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. The molybdenum(IV) complex [MoIV-(bdt)3]2- assumes a distorted trigonal prismatic coordination geometry (average twist angle φ = 24.8°) while the coordination geometry of [MoV(bdt)3] - is best described as distorted octahedral (average twist angle φ = 34.1°).
