Abstract
A {Mo4Nd3} complex of [{η1-(Me3tacn)Mo(O)3}2Nd(O)2(μ-N2O4)]2Nd(OH2)4 (1) and an ionic {Mo2Pr} complex [{(Me3tacn)MoO2}2(μ-O)][Pr(NO3)5(H2O)] (2) were obtained from coordination reactions of the metalloligand [(Me3tacn)MoO3] with Nd2O3 or Pr6O11 in the presence of nitric acid in aqueous methanol solution. While reactions of [(Me3tacn)MoO3] with Ce(NO3)3 or Pr(NO3)3 afforded two ionic complexes of the type [(Me3tacn)MoO2(OH)]4[M(NO3)6](NO3)·(HNO3) (3: M = Ce, 4: M = Pr). Complexes 1 − 4 were characterized by infrared, UV–vis, fluorescence, Raman spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. Moreover, molecular structures of complex 1 − 4 are determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, as well as powder X-ray diffraction. The study of X-ray crystallography revealed that the three Nd centers in complex 1 are linked by two symmetric dinitrogen tetroxide units via oxygen atoms with Nd‒ON2O4 bond lengths of 2.259(14) and 2.454(14) Å.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
