Synthesis and Characterization of Oxomolybdenum(VI) Complexes with Aroyl Hydrazones of Benzil and Diacetyl Monooxime

Abstract

Mo(VI) complexes of selected ONO donor ligands may mimic the active sites of some oxotransfer molybdoenzyme and hence it is of great interest in bio-inorganic chemistry. I have been studying the chemistry molybdenum with O-N containing donor environments since one year. In this dissertation I have reported the synthesis and characterization of several O-N Schiff base hydrazone ligands and their corresponding oxomolybdenum(VI) complexes. All the synthesized ligands and corresponding Mo(VI) complexes has been characterized by several spectroscopic (IR, UV-Vis) technique and redox properties were explored by cyclic voltammetry.
