The cis(NO,NO)-trans(S,S)-[MoL2(NO)(2)] complexes [L = 2-pyrimidinethiolate
(pymt) 1 and 2-pyridinethiolate (pyt) 2] were newly prepared by the reacti
on of the [Mo(NO)(2)](2+) solution with the thiolate ligands. Under room li
ght, complexes 1 and 2 released one of two nitric oxide (NO) to give mu -OH
dinuclear complexes. [{(ON)MoL2}(2)(mu -OH)(2)] (L = pymt 3 and pyt 4). Th
e central molybdenum ion circumference turns from six-coordination into sev
en-coordination, and oxidation number also varies with this reaction from O
to +II. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
