Structural investigation of tetraperoxo complexes of Mo(VI) and W(VI)

The family of tetraperoxo compounds of Mo(VI) or W(VI) have been obtained. Its crystal structures from single-crystal and from powder X-ray diffraction data have been determined. The compounds were characterised by IR spectroscopy and analytical methods. By means of the density functional theory (DFT) method, the geometry and stability of tetraperoxo complexes have been studied.
