Molybdenum in redox non-innocent ligand environments features prominently in biological inorganic systems. While Holm and coworkers, along with many other researchers, have thoroughly investigated formally high-oxidation-state molybdenum (Mo(IV)-Mo(VI)) ligated by dithiolenes, less is known about molybdenum in other formal oxidation states and/or different redox-active ligand environments. This work focuses on the investigation of low-valent molybdenum in four different redox non-innocent nitrogen ligand type environments (mononucleating and dinucleating iminopyridine, mononucleating and dinucleating bis(imino)pyridine). The reaction of iminopyridine N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine (L1) with Mo(CO)3(NCMe)3produced Mo(L1)(CO)3(NCMe). Mo(L1)(CO)3(NCMe) undergoes transformation to Mo(L1)(CO)4upon treatment with CS2or prolonged stirring in dichloromethane. The reaction of the open-chain dinucleating bis(iminopyridine) ligand N,N′-(2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine) (L2) similarly produced an hexacarbonyl complex Mo2(L2)(CO)6(NCMe)2which also underwent transformation to the octacarbonyl Mo2(L2)(CO)8. Both complexes featuredanti-parallel geometry of the chelating units. The oxidation of Mo(L1)(CO)3(NCMe) with I2resulted in Mo(L1)(CO)3I2. The reaction of mononucleating potentially tridentate bis(imino)pyridine ligand (L3) (N-mesityl-1-(6-((E)-(mesitylimino)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)methanimine) with both Mo(CO)3(NCMe)3and Mo(CO)4(NCMe)2produced complexes Mo(L3)(CO)3(NCMe) and Mo(L3)(CO)4in which L3was coordinated in a bidentate fashion, with one imino sidearm unbound. The reaction of dinucleating macrocyclic di(bis(imino)pyridine) analogue (L4) led to the similar chemistry of Mo2(L4)(CO)6(NCMe)2and Mo2(L4)(CO)8complexes. Treatment of Mo(L3)(CO)3(NCMe) with I2formed a mono(carbonyl) complex Mo(L3)(CO)I2in which molybdenum was formally oxidized and L3underwent coordination mode change to tridentate. The electronic structures of formally Mo(0) complexes in iminopyridine and bis(imino)pyridine ligand environments were investigated by density functional theory calculations.
