cis-(Dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)[N′-(3-ethoxy-2-oxidobenzylidene-κO)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazidato-κ2N′,O]dioxidomolybdenum(VI)

The coordination geometry at the MoVI atom in the title compound, [Mo(C16H14N2O4)O2(C2H6OS)], is distorted octahedral. The phenolate O, imino N, oxide O from the enolized carbonyl group and one of the terminal O atoms form the equatorial plane; the axial positions are occupied by the other terminal O atom of the dioxidomolybdenum group and the donor O atom of DMSO. The O=Mo=O angle is 105.31 (6)°. An intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond and weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds are present in the structure
