Abstract

The planar, dinuclear, tridentate ligands, 1,3,5,7-tetrakis(2-pyridylimino)benzodipyrrole (TAII) and 1,3,5,7-tetrakis(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyridylimino)benzodipyrrole (DiMeTAII) were synthesized and characterized as were all intermediates characterized by both infrared and 1H-NMR spectra. Evidence is presented for the formation of Mo4(OAc)6-(DiMeTAII) (I), the dinuclear analog of Mo2(OAc)3-BAII using UV/Vis to show the delta--->delta* transition typical of the quadruple bond and for the determination of percent molybdenum which is consistent with the proposed structure. A review of recent studies into the field of quadruply bonded metal containing polymers will be discussed along with application of compound (I) in this field.
