Abstract
Crystals of the title compound, [Mo(C(14)H(13)NO(2))O(2)(CH(4)O)], were obtained by recrystallization from methanol. The Mo(VI) atom is coordinated by two oxide O atoms and by two O atoms and one N atom of the tridentate 1-[(2-oxidoprop-yl)iminometh-yl]-2-naphtholate Schiff base ligand. The coordination sphere is completed by the O atom of a methanol mol-ecule, yielding a distorted octa-hedron. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding yields centrosymmetric dimers.
