μ-Oxido-bis{[2,2-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetato-κ3N2,O,N2′]chloridooxidomolybdenum(V)} monohydrate

In the binuclear title compound, [Mo-2(C12H15N4O2)(2)Cl2O3]center dot-H2O, the complex molecules have approximate C-2 symmetry. Both Mo-V atoms have a distorted octahedral coordination environment with cis-positioned terminal chloride and oxide groups. The heteroscorpionate organic ligand binds to the Mo-V atom via an N2O donor set. The water molecule bridges two complex molecules, forming O-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bonds to the acetate group and to the chloride ligands.
