{2,2′-[(2,2-Dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}dioxidomolybdenum(VI)

In the structure of the title compound, [Mo(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(2))O(2)], the Mo atom exhibits oxidation state + VI and is surrounded by two O atoms and the tetradentate Schiff base ligand 2,2'-[(2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolate in a distorted octahedral configuration. An intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond between a methylene group and one O atom of the O Mo VI O unit, as well as additional intermolecular hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules, lead to a weakly bonded inversion-symmetric dimeric structure.
