Abstract

A cis-dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complex of a thiosemicarbazone of the type [MoO2L(DMSO)], where H2L = 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde-N4-(3-methoxyphenyl) thiosemicarbazone was synthesized. The molecular structure was determined by SCXRD analysis. The complex crystallizes in triclinic P\(\overline{1}\) space group. The structure consists of a distorted octahedral geometry around central metal, molybdenum. The various hydrogen bonding and \(\pi \cdots\pi\) interactions were explored. Further, the nature and importance of these interactions in the crystal packing were revealed with the help of Hirshfeld surface analysis. Moreover, the synthesized compounds were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Redox properties of the compounds were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry. Finally, the molybdenum complex was evaluated for its catalytic potential for the oxidation of styrene and it displayed about 97% product selectivity for the oxidation of styrene to styrene oxide.
