Linear Chain Compounds of Molybdenum(II) Acetate Dimer Linked by Linear-bidentate Ligands, Pyrazine, 4,4′-Bipyridine, and 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane

Linear chain compounds, [Mo2(O2CCH3)4·L]n (L = pyrazine, 4,4′-bipyridine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) have been prepared and characterized. The linear chain structure of alternating MO2(O2CCH3)4 units and bridging ligands L was confirmed by an X-ray structural analysis of the bpy complex.
