Anisotropic Electrical Conductivity of a Single-Crystalline Oxo-Bridged CrMo Heterometallic Complex.

A new oxo-bridged chromium-molybdenum heterometallic complex, O-CrMoHC ([Cr(MoO)O(OAc)(DMF)]·2DMF), was synthesized by using a simple solvothermal reaction. In this complex, the octahedrally coordinated Cr(III) and tetrahedrally coordinated Mo(VI) metal centers are bridged by oxo ligands. O-CrMoHC has in-plane π-conjugation systems, which are interconnected by noncoordinating DMF molecules.
