naphthyridine; R= pyrazinyl (NP-pz, L1) and thiazolyl (NP-tz, L2)] ligands have been
synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic methods. Two
NP-R ligands wrap the dimetal core by occupying four equatorial positions and two axial
sites. The remaining four equatorial sites are engaged by bridging acetates in quadruply
bonded cis-[Mo2 (L1) 2 (OAc) 2][BF4] 2 (1), cis-[Mo2 (L2) 2 (OAc) 2][BF4] 2 (1A), doubly …
