The single crystal X-ray structure of the title complex (1) shows that two MoO(O2)2 moieties are spanned by a tartrato ligand which is bidentate at each end, giving pentagonal bipyramidal co-ordination to the molybdenum atoms; spectroscopic data (13C, 95Mo n.m.r., Raman) show that this structure is maintained in aqueous solution.
