STUDIES ON THE REACTIVITY OF OXOMOLYBDENUM(V) SPECIES IN SOLUTION AND SOLID-STATE AND IN DIFFERENT ANIONIC ENVIRONMENT IN PRESENCE OF 2-(2'-PYRIDYL)BENZTHIAZOLE

The paper deals with the study of the reactions of oxomolybdenum(v) species under different anionic environments like Cl- and ox2- ions both in solid state as well as in solutions in presence of 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzthiazole (PBT) leading to the synthesis of various paramagnetic derivatives PBTH2 [MoOCl5], [MoOCl3.PBT], [MoOCl(ox)PBT] and diamagnetic or feebly paramegnetic derivatives [Mo2O3Cl4 (PBT)2], [Mo2O4Cl2(PBT)2] and (PBTH2)2 [Mo2O3Cl4(ox)2]. The composition of the compounds has been established through elemental analysis and various physicochemical studies, like uv-visible, ir and epr spectral analysis.
