A binuclear molybdenum oxyfluoride: μ-oxido-bis­[(2,2′-bipyrid­yl)fluoridodioxidomolybdenum(VI)]

The title compound, [Mo(2)F(2)O(5)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], is a centrosymmetric binuclear molybdenum(VI) species with the metal atoms in a distorted octa­hedral environment. The coordination geometries of the symmetry-equivalent molybdenum sites are defined by the cis-terminal oxide groups and the N-atom donors of the bipyridyl ligand in the equatorial plane with axial F and bridging O atoms. The bridging O atom occupies a center of symmetry. The mol­ecules stack in the a-axis direction, and the crystal packing is stabilized by weak intra- and inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds.
