metal-organic compounds
In [Mo(C10H8NO)2(O)2], the metal coordination is octahedral. The oxo ligands are cis with respect to each other and trans with respect to the quinolinolato N donor atoms. The Mo—Ooxo distances are shorter than the Mo—Oquinolinolato bond lengths. One of the oxo ligands is involved in C-HO hydrogen bonding.
