Abstract

The mononuclear title complex, [Mo(C9H9NO2)O2(H2O)], contains an Mo(VI) atom in a distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere defined by an Mo=O and an Mo-(OH2) bond to the axial ligands and two Mo-O bonds to phenolate and alcoholate O atoms, another Mo=O bond and one Mo-N bond to the imino N atom in the equatorial plane. The five-membered metalla-ring shows an envelope conformation. In the crystal, individual mol-ecules are connected into a layered arrangement parallel to (100) by means of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water mol-ecule as a donor group and the O atoms of neighbouring complexes as acceptor atoms. These inter-actions lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
