1 Introduction

Molybdenum (VI) dioxo compounds are commonly encountered in enzyme and metal surface models, oxidation catalysis and oxygen atom transfer reactions (Cervilla et al., 1991). We and others have reported on the epoxidation of sulfides and olefins catalyzed by a large of molybdenum (VI) dioxo complexes (Sheikhshoaie et al., 2009; Rezaeifard et al., 2010; Bagherzadeh et al., 2008; Hroch et al., 2000; Herrmann et al., 1997; Gómez et al., 2001; Kuhn et al., 2000a,b, 2001a,b ). We report here the single crystal X-ray structure for the methanol {E-N′-(2- hydroxybenzlidene)benzohydrazido}dioxidomolybdenum (VI) complex, this compound has been studied theoretically and experimentally by NMR, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy.

2 Synthesis

The titled (Scheme 1) complex was prepared by this common method. A dry methanol solution (15 ml) of MoO₂ (acac)₂ (0.327 g) was added to another solution (15 ml) of (E)-N′-(2-hydroxybenzlidene)benzohydrazid (0.240 g). The mixture was refluxed for 6 h. The clear solution was cooled to room temperature. A yellow powder separated was collected by filtration and dried in air. Crystals of the title Mo^VI complex, suitable for X-ray analysis, were obtained as yellow blocks by slow evaporation at room temperature in a solution of ethanol.

2.1

2.1 X-ray structure determination

Suitable crystals of methanol {E-N′-(2-hydroxybenzlidene)benzohydrazido}dioxidomolybdenum (VI) were obtained as yellow rods. The intensity data were collected at 233 K (−40 °C) on a Stoe Mark II-Image Plate Diffraction System (Stoe, 2009) equipped with a two-circle goniometry and using MoKα graphite monochromatic radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). Image plate distance 130 mm, ω rotation scans 0–180° at φ 0°, and 0–92.0° at φ 90°, step Δω = 1.0°, exposures of 6 mines per image, 2θ range 1.76–52.59°, d_min–d_max = 23.107–0.802 Å_. The structure was solved by direct methods using the program SHELXS-97 (Sheldrick, 2008). The refinement and all further calculations were carried out using SHELXL-97 (Spek, 2009). The OH H-atom was located from a difference electron-density map and refined with a distance restraint of 0.84(2) Å. The remaining H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms using SHELXL default parameters. The non-H atoms were refined anisotropically, using weighted full-matrix least-squares on F². An empirical absorption correction was applied using the MUL scan ABS routine in PLATON. The molecular structure and crystallographic numbering scheme are illustrated in the PLATON drawing, Fig. 1, and the crystal packing viewed along the b-axis is illustrated in Fig. 2 (the O–H···N hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines). Some of X-ray’s data for the titled compound were shown in Tables 1–3 .

2.2 Theoretical calculations

All calculations in the present study were performed by using the ADF 2009.01 program (Spek, 2003; te Velde et al., 2001; Fonseca Guerra et al., 1998; ADF, 2009.01 ). The stationary points on potential energy surfaces were located by using B3LYP density functional calculations (Becke, 1993,1988; Lee et al., 1988; Canal Neto et al., 2005 ), with the DZP basis sets (all-electron double zeta plus polarization function) (Lee et al., 1988; Camiletti et al., 2008). The geometrical parameters of the titled complex have been optimized with B3LYP DZP basis sets.

3 Results and discussion

In the present study, we have carried out B3LYP DZP calculations using ADF 2009.01 program to determine the best molecular configuration of the title complex. The initial geometry for input to the DFT calculation was obtained by means of the MM+ molecular mechanic program for gas phase. In order to optimize the geometry of the compound, the DFT method is used. As a result of energy minimizing study on this metal complex, some selected bond distances and bond angles are given in Tables 3 and 4. According to the geometry optimization in the gas phase, proposed molecular structure of this complex are shown in Fig.3. In this paper, we compare the DFT calculated geometries data of the titled molybdenum complex with its X-ray data. We saw a good agreement between theoretical and experimental data in this study.
