Abstract: The complex (NH4)4[Mo∧O2(S,SHmal)2]·[MoΔO2(R,RHmal)2] was prepared from the reaction of ammonium molybdate and R,Smalic acid at pH=2——3. It was characterized by elementary analysis, conductivity measurement, optical rotation, IRand Xray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/a with unit cell parameters: a=0.8061(2) nm, b=1.3286(2) nm, c=1.3232(2) nm, β=91.82(2)°, V=1.4164(9) nm3, Z=2, Dc=2.008 g·cm-3, F(000)=864, μ=9.700 cm-1 for 1902 reflections with I≥3σ(I). The molybdenum atom is coordinated by two bidentate homochiral malic acid in distorted octahedron, while the βcarboxyl groups remain uncomplexed. The crystal contains two isolated monomeric malatomolybdates(Ⅵ) anions in the configurations of ∧S,S and ΔR,R. The two enantiomeric anions result in the formation of racemic compound. There is no evidence for the other diastereoisomers like (NH4)2[Mo∧O2(R,SHmal)2], (NH4)2[MoΔO2(R,SHmal)2], (NH4)2[Mo∧O2(R,RHmal)2] and (NH4)2[MoΔO2(S,SHmal)2] in this experiment.
