PREPARATION AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A DIMOLYBDENUM(II) COMPLEX WITH THE DRUG IBUPROFEN

摘要

The preparation of dimolybdenum(II) complexes with the drug ibuprofen has been investigated. The compound [Mo-2(R-C13H17O2)(2-) (S-C13H17O2)(2)] has been structurally characterized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 5.5307(6), b = 30.634(5), c = 15.234(2) Angstrom, beta = 91.87(8)degrees, V = 2579.8(6) Angstrom(3), Z = 2. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the molecule which resides on a crystallographic inversion center. The configurations of the four chiral ligands around the dimetal unit follow the cyclic order RRSS. The Mo-Mo distance is 2.085(2) Angstrom. [References: 20]
