 abstract = {Two novel dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes [MoO2L$\prime$1](1) and [MoO2L$\prime$2](2) containing the MoO22+ motif with unexpected coordination motifs due to ligand rearrangement through Mo-mediated interligand C--C bond formation are reported. The ligands (H2L$\prime$1--2) are tetradentate C--C-coupled O2N2-donor systems formed in situ during synthesis of the complexes by reaction of [MoVIO2(acac)2] with Schiff base ligands of 2-aminophenol with 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde (HL1) and 2quinolinecarbaldehyde (HL2). To confirm that the ligand rearrangement is assisted by molybdenum, the corresponding vanadium complexes [VO2L1](3) and [VO2L2](4) containing original Schiff base ligand (HL1,2) are also reported here. All complexes 1--4 are characterized by several physicochemical techniques and the structural features of 1 and 2 have been solved by X-ray crystallography. The proposed mechanism of molybdenum-mediated interligand C--C bond formation is supported by DFT calculations including the comparisons with the synthesized vanadium analogues. The catalytic potentials of 1--4 for the epoxidation of styrene and cyclohexene have also been explored.},
