description

Abstract Geometry optimization of [MoO 2 (SCH 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] 2− and [MoO(SCH 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] − systems as models of [MoO 2 (SCPh 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] 2− and [MoO(SCPh 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] − anion complexes have been carried out at STO-3G, 3-21G, LANL1MB and LANL2DZ basis set levels. A comparison of the theoretical results and X-ray experimental data has been performed. STO-3G minimal basis set produces the best geometrical agreement, in particular the distances and orientations of the different ligands linked to molybdenum transition metal. A large structural overlap with STO-3G optimized geometry and X-ray data has been found for the [MoO 2 (SCPh 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] 2− and [MoO(SCPh 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] − anion complexes.
