A carboxylate-bridged mu-oxo-bis[diperoxomolybdate(VI)]

Abstract

Carboxylate-bridged dinuclear peroxomolybdate(VI), K-3 {mu-Ac-mu-O-[Mo(O-2)(2)O](2) (HAc = acetic acid), which was serendipitously obtained from the hydrogen-peroxide oxidation of potassium lactatoperoxomolybdate(VI), represents the first example of a ligand-stabilized dinuclear Mo-2(O-2)(4)(O)(3).
