Deprotonation of an α-Hydroxy Group in 1-Hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic Acid and an Unusual Type of Dimeric Anion in the Structure of Na5[Mo2O6(L*)]·14H2O
Abstract:
The synthesis and X-ray analysis of a complex containing a deprotonated α-hydroxy group, Na5[Mo2O6(L*)]•14H2O, are presented; the dimeric anion has an unusual structure with a different number of terminal oxygen atoms in the ‘yl’ groups of the two moieties of the dimer (MoO3 and MoO2).
