Molybdenum electronic structures

Comparison of the photoelectron spectra and electronic structures of M-NS and M-NO complexes, e.g., [CpCr(CO)2(NX)] (X = S, O), indicates that NS is a better a-donor and a stronger r-acceptor ligand than NO. This conclusion is supported by " N and Mo NMR data, and by the UV-visible spectra of molybdenum complexes.

The redox chemistries of di-, tri and tetra-nuclear Mo—S cyanide complexes have been discussed in relation to their electronic structures.135 Passage of oxygen into an aqueous solution of [Mo2S2(CN)s]6 leads to the formation of a dark violet mixed-crystal compound of the composition K4+J,[Mo2(S02)(S2)(CN)8] [Mo2(S02)(S2)(CN)8]1 -4H20 (x = 0.3). In the crystal the two anions, whilst structurally similar, are located at crystallographically independent positions each involves both molybdenum atoms surrounded by an approximately... 

For example, [MoC+,]3 has a total of thirty-nine valence electrons from the molybdenum 4d5 5s and six chlorine 3p5 configurations, and the —3 charge on the ion. Its electron configuration is therefore cr12 n24 (2/2 )3. Thus the MO theory of these ML6 complex ions confirms that the electrons of prime importance are those occupying the t2g and eg levels on the metal, as predicted by crystal-field theory. However, the MO theory points the way to the more accurate calculation of electronic structure and properties.
