Abstract

A crystal-to-crystal transformation of (DAniF)₃Mo ₂(μ-OH)₂Mo₂(DAniF)₃ (1) to (DAniF)₃Mo₂(μ-O)₂Mo₂(DAniF) ₃ (2), where DAniF is the anion (p-anisyl)NC(H)N(p-anisyl), by dioxygen provides rare insight into the deprotonation process effected by dioxygen. In this dimolybdenum system, the conversion occurs without significant loss of crystallinity. Although no intermediates have been directly observed, a compound containing the [(DAniF)₃Mo₂(μ-OH)(μ-O) Mo₂(DAniF)₃]⁺ cation, a proposed intermediate, has been obtained independently. Possible pathways for the overall conversion of 1 to 2 are discussed.
