Quadruple-bond dimolybdenum complexes provide invaluable insight into the two-electron bond, with structural chemistry providing a foundation for examination of bond properties. The synthesis and solid-state structure of the quadruple-bonded dimolybdenum(II) complex tetra-kis-(μ-4-methyl-benzoato-κ 2 O:O')bis[(tetra-hydro-furan-κO)molybdenum(II)] tetra-hydro-furan disolvate, [Mo2(C8H7O2)4(C4H8O)2]·2C4H8O, are presented. This complex crystallizes in a triclinic cell with low-symmetry space group P . The dimolybdenum paddlewheel structure comprises four methyl-benzoate ligands and two axial THF ligands. The dimolybdenum bond distance of 2.1012 (4) Å is exemplary of this class of compounds.
