Abstract: The reaction of MoO and NH2 OH.HCl with 8-quinolinol (QOH) gives an orange yellow solid from which complexes [Mo(NO)2(QO)2] (1), [MoO2(QO)2] (2), [Mo(NO)2(QO)2] (3) and [Mo(NO)2(QO)2] (4) are obtained on repeated solvent extraction followed by column chromatography. The complex [Mo(NO)2(QO)2] contains two magnetically non-equivalent QO ligands in a seven coordinate pentagonal bipyramidal arrangement. The complex [Mo(NO)(QO)2] is paramagnetic, showing axially symmetric EPR signals (g⊥ =2.02, gll=2.00) and super hyperfine splitting (S H F S), caused by the 15N of the equatorial and equivalent QO ligands. The electronic spectrum of the chelate also supports the suggested gross structure. The compound [Mo(NO)2(QO)2] shows a stepwise two-electron reduction of the Mo(NO) moiety but the reverse oxidation occurs in a single step, the cyclic response being pseudo-reversible with respect to the first reduction wave. Interestingly, [Mo(NO)2(QO)2] under aerobic conditions, induces electropolymerisation causing the deposition of a conducting polymer [poly-8-quinolinol, as evidenced by IR spectral data], on the working platinum foil electrode.
