Sodium Salts of Octahedral Molybdenum Complexes with Acrylate and Methacrylate Ligands
摘要
Abstract
Two new molybdenum cluster complexes Na2[Mo6I8L6] (L = –CH2=CH–COO– (acrylate, Acr–) and –CH2=C(CH3)–COO– (methacrylate, MAcr–)) are prepared and studied. The complexes are prepared by solvothermal synthesis in methanol from Na2[Mo6I8(OMe)6] in the presence of small excess of the corresponding organic acid. As a result, XRD-quality single crystals of Na2[Mo6I8L6]·2MeOH are formed. The composition and purity of the phases are confirmed by the CHN elemental analysis, energy dispersion analysis, IR spectroscopy, and powder XRD. Photoluminescent properties of both complexes in the solid state and in a dimethylformamide solution are studied.
