MoCl5 reactions with 4-methylpyridine/2-methylpyridine/1-methylimidazole in THF in 1:1/1:2 stoichiometric ratios, at room temperature were carried out. The following products were synthesized: MoO₂Cl(C₆H₇N), ¹;
Mo₂O₂Cl₅(C₆H₇N)₂(C₄H₈O)₂,²; Mo₄O₄Cl₄(C₆H₇N)₃(C₄H₈O)₂, ³ and Mo₂O₄Cl₄(C₄H₆N)₂(C₄H₈O), ⁴. These compounds have been investigated by FT-IR (transmission mode), FT-1H NMR, FT -13C NMR, microbiological, LC-MS and elemental (C, H, N, Mo, Cl) studies. In view of the sensitivity of all the reactants and products towards oxidation/hydrolysis by air/moisture, all the reactions and products were handled using dry nitrogen atmosphere in vacuum line. LC-MS and elemental studies agree with the formulae of compounds.
