A binuclear dihalodioxido molybdenum compounds for bio-medicinal use

Synthesis of binuclear dioxidomolybdate chloranilate complex of general formula [(MoO2X2)2(C6O4X2)] (where X = Cl, Br) were synthesized by dropwise addition of dichloromethane solution of chloranil (tetrachloro-1, 4-ben-zoquinone) with dichloro/dibromo dioxidobis(dimethylformamide) molybdenum(VI) in 1:2 M ratio by con-ventional, as well as, microwave irradiation (solvent free and solid support) methods. In [(MoO2X2)2(C6O4X2)] the environment around each molybdenum atom can be assign as the anticipated distorted octahedral coordi-nation for the metal consisting of one terminal and one bridging oxygen along with chlorine atoms of the chloranil ligand. The binuclear dihalodioxidomolybdate(VI) complexes were characterized by elemental anal-ysis, FT-IR, 13C NMR, UV-Vis and Mass Spectrometry to determine the complex formation. The synthesized binuclear dihalodioxidomolybdate(VI) complexes with plurality of uses as micro biocides and insecticide for controlling undesirable micro-organisms and pests in crop protection, protection of materials, household and veterinary pests apart from being cytotoxic. The synthesized complexes were also screened for their anti-inflammatory, antiulcer and antitumor activity using standard methods.

Automated summary

In this study, a binuclear dioxidomolybdate chloranilate complex was synthesized using conventional and microwave irradiation methods. The complex showed multiple uses as a micro biocide and insecticide for crop and material protection, household and veterinary pests, and also exhibited anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, and antitumor activities.
