Abstract
The thermal decompositions of [MoO<sub>3</sub>(2,2'-bipy)], [Mo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>(2,2'-bipy)], and [Mo<sub>3</sub>O<sub>9</sub>(2,2'-bipy)<sub>2</sub>] have been studied by Raman spectroscopy. Upon heating, [MoO<sub>3</sub>(2,2'-bipy)] loses 2,2'-bipyridine and converts to MoO<sub>3</sub> through a stable intermediate, [Mo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>(2,2'-bipy)], whereas [Mo<sub>3</sub>O<sub>9</sub>(2,2'-bipy)<sub>2</sub>] loses 2,2'-bipyridine and transforms to MoO<sub>3</sub>directly. Vibrational assignments for [MoO<sub>3</sub>(2,2'-bipy)], [Mo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>(2,2'-bipy)], and [Mo<sub>3</sub>O<sub>9</sub>(2,2'-bipy)<sub>2</sub>] are proposed.
