W. Clegg et al., FUNCTIONALIZATION OF [MO6O19](2-) WITH AROMATIC-AMINES - SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF A HEXAMOLYBDATE BUILDING-BLOCK WITH LINEAR DIFUNCTIONALITY, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (4), 1995, pp. 455-456
In reactions between the hexamolybdate [Mo6O19](2-) and 1,4-diaminoben
zene, terminal oxides are replaced by 4-aminophenylimido ligands and t
he first structurally characterised polyoxometallate to contain functi
onalised organoimido ligands, ((BU4N)-N-n)(2)[Mo6O17(NC6H4NH2)(2)] 5,
is also the first example of a trans-bis(imido) derivative; further co
ndensation also occurs to yield species in which hexamolybdate units a
re linked by 1,4-phenylenediimido bridges.
