Abstract

The title structure, [Mo₂(CH₃O)₈(O)₂] _0.75·[Mo₂Cl₂-(CH₃O) ₆(O)₂]_0.25, contains two crystallographically independent centrosymmetric molecules, each of which has a major [MoO(OMe)₄]₂ disorder component and a minor [MoOCl(OMe)₃]₂ disorder component, with a cis arrangement of the chloro and oxo ligands. The oxo ligands lie in the equatorial plane of the metal atoms and bridging ligands. The methoxo bridges are markedly asymmetric as a consequence of the strong trans influence of the terminal oxo ligands compared with the terminal methoxo ligands. Coordination of the Mo atoms is distorted octahedral.
