title: Dioxidobis{2-[(E)-p-tolyl-imino-meth-yl]phenolato}molybdenum(VI).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mo(C(14)H(12)NO)(2)O(2)], comprises half of the complex with the full mol-ecule generated by the application of twofold symmetry. The Mo(VI) atom is surrounded by two oxide O atoms and the two sets of N,O-donor atoms of the bidentate Schiff base ligands. The resulting N(2)O(4) donor set defines a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts link mol-ecules into chains along the b axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by inter-molecular π-π inter-actions [ring centroid-centroid distance = 3.724 (6) Å].
