Crystal structures of two dioxomolybdenum complexes stabilized by salan ligands featuring phenyl and cyclo­hexyl backbones

Two cis-dioxomolybdenum complexes based on salan ligands with different backbones are reported. The salan ligands coordinate to the molybdenum center in a κ² N,κ² O fashion, forming a distorted octa­hedral geometry. These complexes crystallized as di­methyl­formamide and methanol solvated species.

Abstract

Two cis-dioxomolybdenum complexes based on salan ligands with different backbones are reported. The first complex, dioxido{2,2′-[l,2-phenyl­enebis(imino­methyl­ene)]bis­(phenolato)}molybdenum(VI) di­methyl­formamide disolvate, [Mo(C₂₀H₁₈N₂O₂)O₂]·2C₃H₇NO (^PhLMoO₂, 1b), features a phenyl backbone, while the second complex, (6,6′-{[(cyclo­hexane-1,2-di­yl)bis(aza­nedi­yl)]bis­(methyl­ene)}bis­(2,4-di-tert-butyl­phenolato))dioxidomolybdenum(VI) methanol disolvate, [Mo(C₃₆H₅₆N₂O₂)O₂]·2CH₃OH (^CyLMoO₂, 2b), is based on a cyclo­hexyl backbone. These complexes crystallized as solvated species, 1b·2DMF and 2b·2MeOH. The salan ligands ^PhLH₂ (1a) and ^CyLH₂ (2a) coordinate to the molybdenum center in these complexes 1b and 2b in a κ² N,κ² O fashion, forming a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The Mo—N and Mo—O distances are 2.3475 (16) and 1.9567 (16) Å, respectively, in 1b while the corresponding measurements are Mo—N = 2.3412 (12) Å, and Mo—O = 1.9428 (10) Å for 2b. A key geometrical feature is that the N—Mo—N angle of 72.40 (4)° in ^CyLMoO₂ is slightly less than that of the ^PhLMoO₂ angle of 75.18 (6)°, which is attributed to the flexibility of the cyclo­hexane ring between the nitro­gen as compared to the rigid phenyl ring in the ^PhLMoO₂.

Chemical context

Molybdenum centers are present in the active sites of various enzymes including nitro­genases, sulfite oxidase, xanthine oxidase, and DMSO reductase that catalyze two-electron redox processes (Hille et al., 2014 ▸; Enemark et al., 2004 ▸; Hille, 1996 ▸). This is attributed to the large number of stable oxidation states and coordination environments that can be achieved, as well as the solubility of molybdate salts in water. A majority of these enzymes are referred to as oxo-molybdenum enzymes due to the presence of at least one Mo=O moiety in the active site. The sulfite oxidase family of enzymes contains a cis-dioxo molybdenum(VI) (L_n MoO₂) center in its active site (Hille et al., 2014 ▸). Apart from being studied as models to understand biological systems, oxomolybdenum complexes have also found utility in processes such as olefin metathesis, olefin epoxidation, cytotoxic studies, and cyclic ester polymerizations (Hossain et al. 2020 ▸; Mayilmurugan et al. 2013 ▸; Yang et al. 2007 ▸). Mononuclear molybdenum complexes are generally distinguished by stretching frequencies {u(O=Mo=O)} in the 910–950 cm⁻¹ and 890–925 cm⁻¹ regions, which are characteristic of a cis-MoO₂ fragment (Chakravarthy & Chand, 2011 ▸). A variety of ligand architectures have been successful in stabilizing the oxomol­yb­denum core in these complexes (Ziegler et al. 2009 ▸; Subramanian et al. 1984 ▸; Rajan et al. 1983 ▸). Dioxomolybdenum complexes stabilized by salan ligands have been used extensively for various applications (Roy et al., 2017 ▸; Whiteoak et al., 2009 ▸). The modular nature for the synthesis of salan ligands allows for incorporation of steric and electronic variations in the ligand framework to tune the reactivity of the molybdenum center. We are exploring the utility of dioxomolybdenum complexes in catalyzing the de­oxy­dehydration (DODH) reaction with a focus on understanding ligand effects on catalytic activity. This work reports synthesis and crystal structures of two molybdenum complexes including a crystallographically uncharacterized complex, dioxido[2,2′-{l,2-phenyl­enebis(imino­methyl­ene)bis­(phenolato)]molyb­den­um(VI), ^PhLMoO₂ (1b) (Rajan et al. 1983 ▸). The second is a known complex with a new unit cell, (Ziegler et al., 2009 ▸), 6,6′-{[(cyclo­hexane-1,2-di­yl)bis­(aza­nedi­yl)]bis­(methyl­ene)}bis­(2,4-di-tert-butyl­phenolato))dioxidomolybdenum(VI), ^CyLMoO₂ (2b).

Structural commentary

The asymmetric unit of ^PhLMoO₂ (1b) contains two mol­ecules of ^PhLMoO₂ and four mol­ecules of di­methyl­formamide (DMF), as shown in Fig. 1 ▸. Fig. 2 ▸ shows one mol­ecule of ^PhLMoO₂ with hydrogen atoms and solvent removed for clarity. In this system, the salan ligand ^PhLH₂ (1a) coordinates to the molybdenum center in a κ² N,κ² O fashion, forming a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The angles formed around the molybdenum core are 80.23 (6)° for O1—Mo01—N1, 157.78 (6)° for O1—Mo01—O2, 75.18 (6)° for N1—Mo01—N2, and 109.80 (7)° for O3—Mo01—O4. These angles are consistent with a system that is significantly distorted from octa­hedral geometry with bond angles resulting from the salan ligand ranging from 75.18 (6) to 84.38 (7)°, while the angle between the ‘oxo’ oxygens of 109.80 (7)° is close to the ideal tetra­hedral angle of 109.5°. Analogous bond angles in the second molecule in the unit cell are the same within 0.01 Å. The bond distances between the molybdenum center and ligand atoms for Mo01—N1 and Mo01—O1 are 2.3475 (16) and 1.9567 (16) Å, respectively. The notable bond distances from the salan ligand are O1—C1 at 1.377 (2) Å, N1—C7 at 1.486 (3) Å, C2—C7 at 1.515 (3) Å, N1—C8 at 1.389 (8) Å, and C8—C13 at 1.419 (3) Å. Analogous bond distances in the second molecule in the unit cell are the same within 0.01 Å as distances for O1—C1 and N1—C8, respectively. The other bond distances have variations of 0.2–0.3 Å, with N3—C27 at 1.519 (3) Å, C26—C27 at 1.490 (3) Å, and C28—C33 at 1.392 (3) Å.

The asymmetric unit of ^CyLMoO₂ (2b) contains one mol­ecule of ^CyLMoO₂ and two mol­ecules of methanol (MeOH) (Fig. 3 ▸). The salan ligand ^CyLH₂ (2a) binds in the same κ² N,κ² O fashion that complex 1b does. Fig. 4 ▸ shows ^CyLMoO₂ with the hydrogen atoms removed for clarity. The complex also has a distorted octa­hedral geometry with angles of O3—Mo01—O1 at 96.36 (5)°, O1—Mo01—N1 at 76.73 (4)°, N1—Mo01—N2 at 72.40 (4)°, N2—Mo01—O2 at 78.91 (4)°, O2—Mo01—O4 at 100.19 (5)°, O2—Mo01—O3 at 94.58 (5)°. These angles are between 5 and 10° of the ideal 90° for octa­hedral geometry. The N1—Mo01—N2 angle at 72.40 (4)° is slightly less than that of the ^PhLMoO₂ angle of 75.81 (6)°, which is attributed to the flexibility of the cyclo­hexane ring between the nitro­gen atoms compared to the rigid phenyl ring in the ^PhLMoO_2. Metal–ligand bond distances are found for Mo01—O1 at 1.9428 (10) Å, Mo01—O2 at 1.9484 (10) Å, Mo01—O3 at 1.7125 (10) Å, Mo01—O4 at 1.7226 (11) Å, Mo01—N1 at 2.3412 (12) Å, and Mo01—N2 at 2.3384 (12) Å. Other ligand distances and bond lengths within the phenyl rings are consistent with analagous distances in ^PhLMoO₂ (1b). The cylohexane bond distances are consistent with single C—C bonds. The bond lengths observed are not statistically different than those reported by Ziegler et al. (2009 ▸). There are a few statistically different angles, specifically around the molybdenum center where Table 1 ▸ shows the correlating bond angles. These bond-angle differences are most likely due to improved R1 of 2.78% as compared to the previously reported R1 of 5.5% and higher solvent disorder in the reported structure.

Supra­molecular features

^PhLMoO₂ (1b): A single mol­ecule of ^PhLMoO₂ is hydrogen bonded to one disordered DMF mol­ecule, as shown in Fig. 5 ▸, with a distance of 2.03 Å for O11⋯H008 (Table 2 ▸). A second hydrogen bond interaction is between O9—H00D with a distance of 2.16 (3) Å. Corresponding hydrogen bond distances in the second molecule in the unit cell are similar. There are three formula units within the contents of the unit cell. Perpendic­ular π-stacking between ^PhLMoO₂ mol­ecules is observed between C5 and the aryl ring centroid (C35–C39) with a distance of 4.597 Å.

N3—H00E⋯O9	0.79 (3)	2.16 (3)	2.885 (3)	154 (3)

^CyLMoO₂ (2b): There are four mol­ecules of ^CyLMoO₂ in the unit cell of this system and the complex is stabilized via hydrogen bonding to the solvent MeOH mol­ecule (1.94 Å for O4⋯H5A and 2.00 Å for O5⋯H2; Table 3 ▸), as seen in Fig. 6 ▸. There is no indication that there are π-stacking inter­actions between the two mol­ecules. In comparing the hydrogen bonding with the previously reported structure, the main difference is the formation of hydrogen-bonded tetra­mers containing two mol­ecules of 2b and two mol­ecules of methanol in the current structure. The previously reported structure had one resolved mol­ecule of methanol and one disordered oxygen atom, which form a hydrogen-bonded trimer with one mol­ecule of ^CyLMoO₂ (Ziegler et al., 2009 ▸).

Database survey

A database search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) (webCSD accessed September 22, 2021) and SciFinder (SciFinder, 2021 ▸) did not yield any exact matches to the crystal structure for ^PhLMoO₂ (1b). There was a similar crystal structure found with the imine form of the ligand (Salen)MoO₂. A search for ^CyLMoO₂ (2b) in the CSD (webCSD accessed September 22, 2021) shows that there is a known structure of the mol­ecule with a different unit cell with accession code HUWGOW (Ziegler et al., 2009 ▸). The SciFinder search resulted in the same sources being found. The current structure for ^CyLMoO₂ (2b) was solved in space group P 2₁/n compared with P3₁ for HUWGOW. The primary additional differences in the structures is an improved R1 of 2.78% and more clearly resolved methanol solvent, as compared to the previously reported R1 of 5.5% and more disordered methanol solvent (Ziegler et al., 2009 ▸).

Synthesis and crystallization

The salan ligands used for stabilizing [MoO₂]²⁺ in the complexes ^PhLMoO₂ (1b) (Rajan et al. 1983 ▸) and ^CyLMoO₂ (2b) (Ziegler et al., 2009 ▸) were synthesized by the reductive amination of the corresponding salicyl­aldehyde and di­amine. The ligands ^PhLH₂ (1a) and ^CyLH₂ (2a) were synthesized as off-white solids in 86% and 58% yields, respectively. The reaction scheme is shown in Fig. 7 ▸. Both ligands were successfully characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. A salient feature in the ¹H NMR spectra of both ligands as compared to the precursor salen compounds was the disappearance of the aldimine peak (∼8.50 ppm) and the appearance of the benzylic resonances ∼4.00 ppm. The molybdenum complexes ^PhLMoO₂ (1b) and ^CyLMoO₂ (2b) were synthesized in 86% and 42% yields, respectively, by the reaction of the corresponding ligands with MoO₂(acac)₂ in methanol or aceto­nitrile as solvent. Complexes 1b and 2b were also characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. Both complexes exhibited stretches {[(Mo=O) = 916 and 876 cm ⁻¹(1b); 903 and 875 cm⁻¹ (2b)] characteristic of a cis-dioxo molybdenum core in the IR spectrum.

Procedure for synthesis of ligands

^PhLH₂ (1a): To a solution of 1,2-phenyl­enedi­amine (0.764 g, 7.20 mmol) in methanol (ca 7 ml) was added a solution of salicyl­aldehyde (1.76 ml, 14.9 mmol) in methanol (ca 8 ml). The mixture was stirred for 6 h at room temperature. The orange precipitate that formed during this period was filtered and washed with methanol, then dried under high vacuum to yield the salophen product as an orange solid (2.19 g, 98%).¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 400 MHz, 300 K) δ 13.0 (s, 2H), 8.63 (s, 2H), 7.38 (d, ³ J _HH = 8 Hz, 2H), 7.35–7.33 (m, 2H), 7.26–7.22 (m, 2H), 7.05 (d, ³ J _HH = 8 Hz, 2H), 6.92 (t, ³ J _HH = 8 Hz, 2H).

To a mixture of methanol (ca. 8 ml) and diethyl ether (ca 8 ml), was added salophen (1.52 g, 4.81 mmol) followed by NaBH₄ (1.67 g, 44.4 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. When the yellow color of the solution changed to colorless, it was transferred into a separatory funnel and DI H₂O (ca 15 ml) was added followed by ethyl acetate (2 × ca 15 ml) for extraction. The organic solution was separated and combined, then washed with saturated NaCl solution (ca 20 ml). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄ and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to give a light-yellow solid, which was dried under high vacuum. The color of the solid changed to light brown after 2 h under high vacuum to yield the product (1.32 g, 86%).¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 400 MHz, 301 K) δ 7.24–7.19 (m, 4H), 6.96–6.94 (m, 4H), 6.89 (t, ³ J _HH = 8 Hz, 2H), 6.86 (t, ³ J _HH = 8 Hz, 2H), 4.40 (s, 4H).

^CyLH₂ (2a): A 100mL round-bottom flask was charged with trans-1,2-di­amino­cyclo­hexane (0.448 g, 4.38 mmol), methanol (ca. 16 mL), and 3,5-di-tert-butyl­salicyl­aldehyde (2.05 g, 17.5 mmol). The solution was stirred for 24 h at room temperature. The solution resulted in a bright-yellow precipitate. The precipitate was then collected by gravity filtration and washed with cold methanol. The precipitate was dried under high vacuum to remove any residual solvent and yield the salen product (3.85 g, 81%). ¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 400 MHz, 301 K) δ 13.6 (br, 2H), 8.33 (s, 2H), 7.34 (s, 2H), 7.02 (s, 2H), 3.37 (br, 2H), 1.98–1.77 (m, 4H), 1.40 (s, 18H), 1.33–1.29 (m, 4H), 1.24 (s, 18H).

A 100mL round-bottom flask was charged with the salen product (1.00 g, 2.00 mmol), methanol (ca 3 mL), and THF (ca 25 mL). NaBH₄ (9 equivalents) was slowly added into the reaction mixture until the solution was colorless. The reaction was quenched with DI water (ca 20 mL), and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 × ca 10 ml) using a separatory funnel. The combined organic layers were dried using anhydrous Na₂SO₄ and was concentrated under vacuum using the rotary evaporator. The product was then put under high vacuum overnight to ensure it was completely dry (0.577 g, 58%). ¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 400 MHz, 301 K) δ 7.22 (d, ⁴ J _HH = 4 Hz, 2H), 6.87 (d, ⁴ J _HH = 4 Hz, 2H), 4.05 (d, ² J _HH = 16 Hz, 2H), 3.90 (d, ² J _HH = 16 Hz, 2H), 2.51 (br, 2H), 2.19 (br, 2H), 1.72 (br, 2H), 1.44–1.41 (m, 2H), 1.38 (s, 18H), 1.28 (s, 18H), 1.23–1.20 (m, 4H).

Selected IR (cm⁻¹): 3127 υ(2° N—H); 916, 876 υ(Mo=O).

Crystals of ^PhLMoO₂, 1b were grown by forming a supersaturated solution of the complex in DMF and layering with hexa­nes. The solution was placed in a refrigerator at 268 K for 1.5 months. Orange–yellow crystals were observed to grow and were collected for structural determination.

The solution was stirred, and 2a (0.27 g, 0.51 mmol) was added to the MoO₂(acac)₂ dissolved in methanol. The solution was stirred overnight when it turned orange. The solution was filtered, and the solvent removed by evaporation under vacuum to obtain an orange precipitate. The precipitate was triturated with methanol, producing an orange solid, which was separated by gravity filtration and was washed twice with cold methanol (0.108 g, 42%). ¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 400 MHz, 301 K) δ 7.26 (s, 2H), 6.86 (s, 2H), 5.28 (d, ² J _HH = 16 Hz, 2H), 4.18 (d, ² J _HH = 12 Hz, 2H), 2.34–2.28 (m, 4H), 1.43 (s, 18H), 1.30 (s, 18H), 1.19–1.17 (m, 4H), 0.88–0.85 (m, 4H). ¹³C{¹H} NMR (CDCl₃, 100 MHz, 301 K) δ 157.1, 152.1, 142.8, 142.3, 142.0, 138.0, 137.7, 137.6, 125.7, 125.4, 124.1, 124.0, 123.0, 122.9, 120.0, 119.6, 65.19, 58.9, 57.6, 53.4, 50.9, 50.5, 35.2, 35.1, 34.3, 34.2, 33.0, 31.6, 31.6, 31.5, 29.9, 29.9, 28.9, 24.5, 24.3, 24.1. Selected IR (cm⁻¹): 903, 875 υ(Mo=O).

Crystals of ^CyLMoO₂, 2b were grown by using a supersaturated solution of the complex dissolved in methanol and allowed to undergo slow evaporation over 2 d. A similar vial was also refrigerated where crystals were seen to form as well. The crystals from the slow evaporation set up were cropped and the orange–yellow crystals were used for structure determination.

Refinement

Crystal data, data collection, and refinement details are listed in Table 4 ▸. Hydrogen atoms were placed at ideal positions with C—H distances at 0.95 for CH and 0.99 Å for sp³ CH₂ and CH₃ using HFIX commands, and refined using a riding model with U _iso(H) = 1.2U _eq(C) for CH, CH₂, and CH₃. The structure for ^PhMoO₂ (1b) was initially refined in the trigonal crystal system P3₂21; however, this resulted in the solvent DMF having a high level of disorder with many checkCIF errors.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Dioxido{2,2'-[l,2-phenylenebis(iminomethylene)]bis(phenolato)}molybdenum(VI) dimethylformamide disolvate (1b). Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
