Abstract

Glycolato and R,S-lactato imidazole molybdenum(iv) complexes [Mo3SO3(glyc)2(im)5]imH2O (1), Na2[Mo3SO3(R,S-lact)3(im)3]10H2O (2), and [Mo6O10(R,S-lact)2(im)10]16H2O (3) have been isolated and characterized (H2glyc = glycolic acid, H2lact = lactic acid, im = imidazole). -Alkoxy coordination with molybdenum [MoO-alkoxy 1.993(7)av ] in 1 and 2 showed obvious differences to their counterpart with -hydroxy coordination [MoIV3S4(PPh3)3(Hlact)2(lact)] [2.204(4)av ] as shown in M. N. Sokolov, S. A. Adonin, A. V. Virovets, P. A. Abramov, C. Vicent, R. Llusar and V. P. Fedin, Inorg. Chim. Acta, 2013, 395, 1118. This was also true for the 36 reported structures of FeMo-cofactors in the RCSB protein data bank (MoOav 2.272 ), which can serve as indirect evidence for the protonation of homocitrate in FeMo-co. The COH-hydroxy bonds were longer than the short CO-alkoxy bonds.
